It is our mission to equip young people with the tools needed to develop a deeper relationship with Christ, utilizing the sacraments and a strong prayer life, while at the same time forming lifelong friendships with teens that share similar goals and values.

Are you going to Steubenville? 

Steubenville is an outreach of Franciscan University of Steubenville and a series of 24 conferences across North America that help teens encounter the love of Christ every summer. Their mission is to build the Church by helping teens encounter the love of Jesus Christ. 

Our regional Steubenville conference is July 10 - 12th near Atlanta, GA, and our parish is going this summer for the FIRST TIME. Will you join us?

Who can go? Rising 9th Graders - Outgoing 12th Graders
What can I expect? Don’t let the lights, sounds and crowds fool you, a Life Teen hosted Steubenville Conference is so much more than just another youth rally. Through an energetic and welcoming atmosphere, this conference will lead the young church into a life-changing experience with the love of God. Attending Steubenville Atlanta will bring you face to face with the relevant proclamation of the Gospel, authentic moments of worship and prayer, and above all, a tangible encounter with Christ in the Sacraments. 
How will I get there? We are sharing a bus with youth and adults from St. John the Beloved (Summerville), Christ Our King (Mt. Pleasant), and St. Clare of Assisi (Daniel Island). We will leave early Friday July 10th and return home Sunday evening July 12th. 
How much does it cost? $400. The cost includes bus transportation, 2-nights in a hotel, meals Friday night through Sunday morning, Steubenville Conference fee, and a super awesome t-shirt. Fundraisers and scholarships are available. 
How can I register? Email Alicia Tosca at YouthMinistry@StTheresaChurch.com 
When is the deadline? $50 SAVE-MY-SPOT DEPOSIT due MARCH 20, 2020. $150 CONFERENCE DEPOSIT due MAY 15, 2020. Scholarships are available -- reach out to Alicia. Cash, credit/debit cards, and checks made payable to St. Theresa are accepted. 
Final payment due JUNE 19th, if needed (see next).
Will we do fundraisers? Yes. We will help with the Parish Yard Sale in May. We will help load and unload the storage pod, set up the hall, and box unsold items after the yard sale ends. Proceeds will go towards the cost of the bus and hotel. If you would like to benefit from the proceeds, then you will need to help.
