About the Steubenville South High School Conference:

We are the only Catholic youth conference in this region, providing top-tier, affordable, and accessible resources, products, and experiences for youth and their communities, inviting them to take their place in the Kingdom of God, using what they’ve been given, for His glory and the good of others. It is our hope that the resources and events coordinated by the Steubenville South Office leave individuals and communities feeling equipped, inspired, and ready to run on their God-given mission. Let’s geaux!
