Greetings in Christ!

I hope all of you are having a blessed New Year.  I just wanted to give you a heads up regarding the new Group Leaders and Chaperone blog.  It is my pleasure to provide a place where those of you who have so faithful to the youth conferences for so many years can come and find words of encouragement and hope.  In addition, it is space where you could send in questions regarding Steubenville and have answers published in a public form.  Finally, it is a place where you can share ideas about how you prepare your teens for a Steubenville conference and how you follow up the Steubenville conference with your teens.

I encourage you to go there and read the posts.  Much of what I post there comes from the prayers I offer everyday for you and the youth you serve. 

Please feel free to comment, to share your own thoughts, to submit questions, to connect with other ministers. 

I hope you will find the content uplifting and helpful.

Thank you again for all you do and for your continued support of the Franciscan University Summer Youth Conferences. 

Peace and blessings.

John Beaulieu, Director of Youth Outreach
