Has my title says... Steubenville, San Diego was GREAT. Steubenville San Diego is a catholic conference put on by the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio.
Established in 1976.
Serving over 36,000 youth and their leaders each year.
19 conferences across the United States and Canada.
It is an amazing time of coming to know Christ in a more intimate way and therefore understanding more about oneself. , which is very helpful in all stages of life. It is a time of fellowship with others from your community who share similar desire to know what "this is all about" meaning their Catholic Faith and their Lives.
Most everyone's highlight from over the weekend is Adoration on Saturday night. This Year my Highlight ... my thrill.. was seeing my sister Clara who is a Sister in the order of The Trinitarians of May. The Order is there every year helping with preparing for mass, feeding people. They have a booth in the bookshop and they have the Adoration Chapel which is open all through the Week end.
I can't explain in detail all about Steubenville because it would take forever and I will be playing "Rummy" with my little sister after she is done with cleaning the kitchen (the card game "Rummy"). I really encourage you to look into going to Steubenville San Diego or any other conferences that Steubenville puts on through the country, either with your youth group or your family. God to this web sight to see where the Conferences are being held →http://www.franciscanyouth.com/
After Steubenville I stayed in Porterville until Friday. I went to Youth Group on Wednesday and then to a FOP/Benediction (FOP=Festival Of Praise) on Thursday which had dinner and games outside afterward. I played Frisbee (which I happened to do really well that night with) and others played Volley Ball.
I love it in Porterville. I never want to leave my friends.. that are family. I love everyone there so much. I of course want to come home to my family. I love being home but I am now torn.. I feel as if I have two homes. Both Beautiful ...but one being more comfortable and at ease.. the other being simply the place that God wants me to be.
Well... I need to go.
God bless you all
