I would like to say words cannot describe the weekend we had at Steubenville but these teens have done a great job of putting what they felt into words. Here are just a few of the comments from the weekend…
We had fun worshiping God, YES, fun. You get to learn God is there not only in the boring places or when you need him the most. He is there 24/7, like 7/11, all the way to heaven. God will touch your heart during this retreat and make you cry of happiness or simply for having the chance to know he loves us all individually... Elizabeth, Grade 12
Steubenville was so amazing. This retreat has formed in me a greater respect and love for the Eucharist and a passion to live for God and God only… Francine, Grade 10
During Adoration, I immediately became happy and started praying for my sins to be forgiven and for God to help me grow stronger in my faith…Jerald, Grade 12
I would recommend this retreat to everyone and anyone who wants a change in their life and seeks to be touched by God. It has helped me build up my faith and made me stronger to keep walking with the Lord… Joanna, Grade 12
This weekend taught me that there are many challenges ahead in life. Many of them are harder than the last. But with faith, wisdom and courage everything is possible. Go with God and believe there is a reason for everything… Jonathon, Grade 12
It was a weekend of great friends, outstanding music and inspiring speakers. No one was left out; there was something for everyone… Luke, Grade 12
The Steubenville Conference was absolutely amazing! I strengthened my faith and grew closer to God in so many ways. It opened up my heart and let me see that God will always be there no matter what I do or what’s going on in my life… Maggie, Grade 11
During Adoration, I just couldn’t help but drop to my knees and cry. It wasn’t a sad cry but a happy one, knowing I was privileged enough to be in the same room as the King of kings… Ryan, Grade 11
God really touched me and talked to me in this retreat and it felt awesome to feel this way. This retreat made me realize how much God’s love really matters… Stefany, Grade 10
This weekend I felt at peace because I was spending time with God and I got a chance to know him better. I truly believe that it is God who we have to thank everyday for what we have and for giving us another day to live… Sylvia, Grade 12
The atmosphere and the amazing people there just made it feel like heaven on earth. I could have stayed there forever. At this conference I felt the closest I have ever felt to our Savior Jesus Christ. It felt like He was holding me in his arms the whole time. It was the best feeling I have ever experienced. I will never forget it… Teresa, Grade 12
