Alive In You 2017 - Columbia, SC

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.

Gather your friends, pack your bags, and join young people from around the country on this incredible journey of faith. Open your heart and let the fire of the Holy Spirit become Alive in You.

What do our teens say about it?  Here are some comments from last summer's mission trip participants:
- During this trip, I realized how much of an impact I can have on others with my words and actions and service.
- I made new friends and learned of new perspectives.
- 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.
- Doing things for others feels better than doing them for yourself.
- Never give up on your prayers.
- Today in mass, for the first time, I understood what people meant when they said they heard God talking to them.
- The workshops were interesting, inspiring and relevant to teens.
- I really enjoyed Amanda's workshop talk about resilience in your Catholic faith.

Ave Maria Youth Conference 2018 - July 7th

Please note - from Ave Maria Youth Conference: 

"Due to our ten year renovations that will be taking place in our dorms throughout the summer, this year's youth conference will be a one day event held on Saturday, July 7th, 2018."

"Registration will open Saturday morning at 8:30am and close the day with Adoration ending at 9pm. As in previous years, the conference will host Adoration, Confession,  praise and worship, the 
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and an incredible speaker line-up. Due to the shortened length of the conference, the price per attendee will drop to $50. This admission fee will include lunch and dinner and a conference t-shirt! We eagerly anticipate everything Our Heavenly Father has in store for all attendees next summer."

This conference is open to students who are currently in grades 8-12.

We will not be attending this conference as a group this year, however individuals may register independently.  For additional information and registration, ​visit the Ave Maria Youth Conference website here:​
