Steubenville Northwest Summer Conference
Steubenville Northwest offers dynamic speakers who instruct and challenge teens in all facets of their lives. The 2019 theme is "Belong" from 1 John 3:1: “See what love the Father has bestowed on us, that we may be called children of God.”
SNW offers vibrant praise and worship time, and grace through the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. Processional Eucharistic Adoration is a highlight of the conference and will be a focus of youth group this year. SNW offers a venue where more 1,000 Catholic teens are able to laugh, cry, sing, pray, discern, be encouraged, and be healed. Steubenville Northwest is a weekend for those just coming to know God, and for those yearning for a deeper relationship as a disciple of Christ.
Totus Tuus (Latin for Totally Yours) is a week-long summer youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through evangelization, catechesis, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. Totus Tuus infuses catechetical instruction with authenticity and FUN!
The Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church provide the foundation for this summer’s program. The 2019 schedule will focus on the Sacraments and the Sorrowful Mysteries. Totus Tuus is concerned not only with teaching the faith, but also igniting the hearts of the team members and young people.
Registration may be completed on the SJA Parish Website beginning the weekend of May 4th and 5th.
The registration cost for a single participant is $20.
For families of 3 or more participating in any combination of the week-long programs, the cost will be capped at $40.
Totus Tuus has a maximum of 80 registration spots available.

Preparation for Confirmation at SJA is a journey to encounter the person and mission of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus invites us into a personal, active relationship with him. Jesus gave us the Catholic Church to support us in our faith journey. The sacrament of Confirmation is the full outpouring of the gift of the Holy Spirit which was originally given to us in the waters of Baptism.
