My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Welcome to our Annual Conferences
at Franciscan University in the Diocese of
Steubenville! Thank you for coming together
to celebrate our Lords’ presence among us,
thereby deepening our encounter with
Jesus Christ. You and I are reminded that
as we learn more about ourselves, the more
thoroughly we recognize Jesus Christ and how he has revealed his
Father to us.

As you and I live in a society which promotes at times the truth and
yet other times falsehood, we are reminded by our Holy Father, Pope
Francis, that true and lasting joy absolutely depends on one’s holiness.
I encourage you to live authentic lives grounded in the truth of Jesus
Christ and his invitation to our holiness.

May you have life in and through Jesus Christ these celebrated days
of the Youth Conference. With prayerful best wishes to you and your
families and entrusting you with the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
patroness of the Diocese of Steubenville, I am,
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Jeffrey M. Monforton
Bishop of Steubenville
