Steubenville Atlantic

July 10-12, 2026, Dalhousie University

Catholic High School Youth Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Steubenville Atlantic is a high-energy youth conference where hundreds of teens are invited to encounter Jesus Christ through dynamic speakers, engaging music, the Sacraments, small group discussions, and fellowship with other teens. Our conference is an outreach of Franciscan University of Steubenville in partnership with the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth Pastoral Life and New Evangelization Office.

Steubenville Atlantic 2026 is Atlantic Canada’s Premier Catholic Youth event, and the only Steubenville Youth Conference in Canada

In addition to three days of amazing speakers, teens will have opportunities for worship, adoration, and confession, while enjoying fellowship with hundreds of other teens who share the same Catholic faith.

After 20 Steubenville Conferences I still am in awe of how God uses these times to draw new people in, draw experienced youth even deeper, and recharge youth leaders and volunteers.

Franciscan LEAD

Franciscan LEAD is a five-day, Christ-centered, prayer fueled immersion in Catholic principles of Leadership, Evangelization, And Discipleship inspired by the life and witness of St. Francis of Assisi. We first give teens the tools to grow closer in their relationship with Jesus and then give them the essentials for servant leadership and evangelization.
