We aren’t just kids; we are future leaders

St. Vincent de Paul Youth Ministry

Steubenville is a high energy youth conference in which thousands of teens are invited to encounter Jesus Christ through dynamic speakers, engaging music, the Sacraments, small group discussions, and fellowship with other teens. The conferences are an outreach of Franciscan University in partnership with the St. Louis Archdiocesan Office of Youth Ministry.

The Steubenville Mid-America Youth Conference includes a van trip to and from Springfield, Missouri, two nights of lodging at Missouri State University, two t-shirts, daily programming, Adoration, Mass with the Archbishop, the opportunity for Reconciliation, as well as meals beginning with Friday dinner through Sunday lunch. Fundraising opportunities for the youth are available throughout the year.

The trip will be chaperoned by St. Vincent Youth Ministry adult leaders and Coordinator of Youth Ministry, Emily Hager.

The March for Life is an annual rally and march protesting both the practice and legality of abortion, held in Washington, D.C., on or around the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a decision issued in 1973 by the United States Supreme Court legalizing abortion nationwide.

Students from SVHS travel to Washington, D.C., to march, along with others from around the country each year. Contact Emily Hager for more details
