Franciscan LEAD
July 21-25, 2025
Are your teens ready to take their faith to the NEXT LEVEL?
Leadership
Evangelization
Discipleship
A five day, Christ-centered, sacrament-soaked, prayer fueled immersion in Catholic teachings on leadership, evangelization, and discipleship inspired by the life and witness of St. Francis of Assisi. This program takes place the Monday-Friday leading up to Steubenville of the Rockies.
Our leadership philosophy is based on the foundation that youth leadership flows from a personal relationship with Christ. Therefore, 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.
