Alive In You 2019 - Tampa, FL

Mission Trips & Conferences

Each year we provide our high school teens the opportunity to go on a week-long summer mission trip.  This trip is designed to give the teens an opportunity to provide meaningful service to others, deepen their understanding and expression of our faith, build lasting friendships and experience new and unique places.  

We also offer a summer weekend youth conference which provides the teens a retreat atmosphere to take a break from their busy lives and re-focus on their spirituality.

The teens are able to earn credit towards their mission trip and conference fees by participating in fundraisers throughout the year.

- I liked meeting everyone we helped.
- Loved the connection and deeper understanding of Trinity - a lot learned!
- I enjoyed going to get prayed upon so that I could release my feelings.

Steubenville Orlando - Youth Conference 2020 - July 17-19

Exciting News!!  Fr. Mike Schmitz is coming to Steubenville Florida this year!  You do not want to miss this! 

This youth conference is attended by 2000 high school teens from Florida and beyond.  Hundreds of teens from our own diocese participate and we'd love for you to come with us!  This year the conference takes place at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando from Friday afternoon July 17th through Sunday mass July 19th.  All students currently in grades 8-12 may participate.
Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio seeks to provide an opportunity for teens to come to know the saving love of Christ by providing a powerful experience of the Catholic Church and its sacramental life.

This conference is specialized to address the resources and needs of today's Catholic youth, organized on a national and regional level. With an exciting line up of speakers, musicians, and presenters, the High School Youth Conference will challenge Catholic youth to stand firm in their faith, rely on the awesome power of Jesus Christ who is their guide, friend, and Savior, and show that faith to the world.
​
The Sacraments are the highlight of the conference. Teens will join in a dynamic Eucharistic Liturgy during the weekend and will be given the opportunity to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There is also a powerful time of Eucharistic Exposition and Adoration. Many teens encounter the Holy Spirit for the first time. This leads to a tremendous conversion for many young people.
