Frequently Asked Questions

When do i need to register by?
Registration is due by April 13th in order to be listed in the bulletin for our Investment Fundraiser. 
can I fundraise? what if i can't afford the trip?
Yes! Throughout the year we do Little Caesar's Pizza Kit Drives in order to raise money for the trip. See more details for Little Caesar's Kits on the main youth group page here. At the beginning of May we also have an Investment Fundraiser where anyone who is signed up for Steubenville will be listed in the bulletin and people from the parish can donate to them. We have such generous parishioners so this goes over well every year and is a big help! 

If you don't think you can afford to pay for Steubenville but would really like to join us please contact Corey Luna at mhtyouthcorey@gmail.com! We would much rather find a way to have you join us on this trip than let the cost get in the way from such a great opportunity to encounter the Lord!
When is the final payment due?
Final payments will be available by June 3rd (this gives us time to account for all of the donations that come in). If you would like to know how much you owe for the trip, please email Corey at mhtyouthcorey@gmail.com or have someone stop by the Youth Center after the 6PM mandatory newbie meeting (around 6:30 PM) on June 7th and we'll have it there.

What can I expect the Conference to be like? Where will we be Sleeping?
On Friday June 26th, we will have mass at 6 AM in the church and then leave for Steubenville, Ohio after that. We will load up on a charter bus and make the six hour trip with a stop for food and restroom along the way. We will arrive at the campus of Franciscan University  and start the conference! The guys will be staying in the campus apartments which will not have air conditioning. The girls will be in the dorms and might have air conditioning. Not everyone will have a bed, so bring either a mat or a sleeping bag to sleeping on.  Some people bring a small fan but it actually gets pretty cool at night there so it might not be needed. The conference schedule will consist of different talks on the faith, confession, adoration, and of course Mass! Oh and they always have great music too! We will return to Most Holy Trinity on Sunday June 28th around 7 or 8 PM.
