Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center, Aurora, CO How will we get there? We will be traveling by motorcoach and plan to pick up and drop off at several locations along Interstate 80. I have never been to a Steubenville Conference, what does the weekend involve? What does the schedule look like? Steubenville Conferences follow a consistent schedule and theme each year, regardless of location. The weekend is designed to give youth a powerful opportunity to connect with peers who share their faith in an environment that encourages openness to hear God speak to them. This is achieved through keynote talks, breakout sessions, the celebration of the sacraments, and by emphasizing encountering Christ in the Eucharist—often described as fostering a sense of “Eucharistic amazement.” For more information, search: https://gidiocese.org/steubenville |
