But Jesus wasn’t thirsting for something to drink. Instead, His statement should be interpreted as “I thirst… for souls!” Jesus is thirsty for your soul – at the 2016 Steubenville Youth Conferences, we will all have an opportunity to give our souls to Christ, who so desperately thirsts for them.

Additional Information from the Archdiocese of Denver We are very excited to be hosting the Steubenville of the Rockies Conference for the 19th year in a row! We hope that you are ready to discover the “Limitless” love of Christ over the weekend of June 24-26, 2016 at the Crowne Plaza DIA here in Denver. With an exciting lineup of speakers, musicians, and presenters, this conference will challenge Catholic youth to not just learn about the Holy Spirit, but to get to know Him as the living presence of God in our lives. We will get to contemplate the amazing love of Jesus and how He willingly gave up His throne in heaven in order to become a man. The Sacraments are the highlight of the weekend. Teens will join in two dynamic Eucharistic Liturgies during the weekend and will be given numerous opportunities to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There is also a powerful time of Eucharistic Exposition and Adoration. Many youth have come to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit through this weekend. If your teens are beginning their walk with Christ, needing strength to continue the journey, or just ready to rejoice in the many blessings He has given, then this is the conference for you! We had an incredible time playing host to over 2400 youth last year and are anticipating another large crowd this summer. We are looking forward to hosting your group here in the beautiful state of Colorado! If you have questions regarding the registration materials, please feel free to contact us. Finally, we ask that you keep the conference preparations, participants, and staff in your prayers.
