Steubenville Conferences mark 50 years

STEUBENVILLE — For 50 years, Franciscan University’s Steubenville Conferences have provided Catholics and sincere seekers a vibrant, Eucharist-centered experience of life in the Holy Spirit and the love of Jesus Christ.

“Heading into our 50th summer, we’re overwhelmed by the Lord’s generosity and the ways he continues to reach people through our conferences,” said Brian Kissinger, executive director of Conferences at Franciscan University. “From the individual encounters and conversion moments that take place during these events to the families, parishes, and apostolates impacted by the men and women who attend, we’re in awe of how God is at work rebuilding the Church through the Steubenville Conferences.”

Kissinger said that in addition to long-time favorite conferences for adults and teens, this summer’s schedule will introduce “Glory: Women’s Gathering.” This conference will bring women together June 6-8 at Franciscan University to encounter the glory of God and experience a place of belonging, inspiration, and restoration.

Steubenville Conferences have partnered with “Abiding Together” podcast co-host Heather Khym and Life Restoration Ministries to offer this conference to women. Speakers will include Khym; Michelle Benzinger, “Abiding Together” podcast co-host; Debbie Herbeck, founder and executive director of Pine Hills Girls’ Camp; Sarah Kaczmarek, director of Pastoral Ministry at Encounter Ministries; the Rev. Tim Hepburn of St. Michael’s Parish in Gainesville, Ga.; and Monica Richards, full-time missionary at Damascus. Worship music will be led by GMA Dove Award nominated artist and songwriter Sarah Kroger Quaglia.

“I’m so excited to host the Glory women’s conference at Franciscan this summer and welcome women of all generations to encounter God’s presence, experience joy and renewal, and refocus our lives on Jesus,” Khym said.

Steubenville Conferences will also host five other adult conferences this summer at Franciscan University, all of which will feature Catholic speakers, authors, theologians, podcasters, clergy, musicians, and ministry leaders.
