Steubenville Conference: Rochester, MN

The conference directors for the Steubenville Conference, held in Rochester, MN, have reached out to us with a need. They are short of the volunteers needed to support the conference this year.  This is an awesome opportunity to come together as a Catholic 'Stangs community this summer, and help serve as the hands and feet of Christ to His youth.  The dates are July 14-16.  Last year, we arrived on the 13th and assisted with set-up as well as volunteering during the conference.

Meals are provided while you are volunteering and we are working on low-cost housing for the conference.  There is no cost for the volunteers and you will still get to experience the same key notes speakers, music and adoration.  Father Mike Schmitz is the primary priest for this year's conference.  Paul J. Kim, Katie Prejean McGrady and Matt Regitz round out the speakers. Sonar will again lead the music ministry and the host is Brian Kissinger.  For those who don't know, Paul J. Kim will be coming to Holy Redeemer during Lent 2018 to lead our mission, so this would be an opportunity for an advance peek!

If you are interested in going, please contact Becki before you complete the documentation with Partnership For Youth to make sure we have what we need for the group as a whole.  If you are interested in volunteering and haven't before, here is a link to the opportunities:  Volunteer Options.  They do not guarantee you will get to choose what you want to do, but they do their best to fit what you want in to their schedule of volunteers.
