Steubenville NW is a Catholic Youth Conference held at Gonzaga University in July.  We were blest to have 7 youth and 4 chaperones attend this amazing gathering.
We celebreated Mass everyday, heard keynote talks, chose breakout sessions, and experienced Adoration that was truly life-changing.  The Ben Walther band led praise and worship and Father Leo Patalinghug (an awesome priest, chef, and break dancer) shared stories and talk us so much about our faith.

Here are a few highlight testimonials from a few of the youth.

"Steubenville was incredible. I gained a much better under-standing of my faith on this trip, and I had a lot of fun while doing it. A few highlights of the trip were the day trip to Silver Wood, the Speakers they had at the event, and Adoration. All in all, the trip was worth it and I would definitely do it again." - Tanner Ahmann

"Most of the students from our parish would agree that adoration was the most impactful part of the weekend. We were surrounded by the beauty of God. We all began by kneeling, but Fr. Leo invited us all to pray however we felt comfortable: kneeling as a disciple, standing as a solider, or sitting as a student. Many people extended their hands toward the monstrance. In the dark, with nothing but two large spotlights shining down on Fr. Leo and Jesus, there was crying and singing. Fr. Leo stopped continually, made the sign of the cross over us with the Body of Christ, and prayed." Izzy English
