Steubenville Lone Star

June 25, 2024 | Media

21 Cistercian Upper School students participated in Steubenville Lone Star – the annual Catholic youth conference that draws over 3000 teens each June to the Irving Las Colinas Convention Center.  With the theme, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”(John 1:15), high school youth from around the country joined together for a weekend of fellowship, prayer, and sacraments.  Fr. Augustine and Fr. Raphael served as chaperones together with alumni Kyle Blessing ’20 and John Flaherty ’17. The students had a very favorable impression of the weekend and felt its spiritual impact strongly. Several expressed a desire to attend again in June of 2025.
