STEUBENVILLE, Ohio — More than 600 women from across North America traveled to Franciscan University of Steubenville last weekend as the Steubenville Conferences launched their 2026 summer season.
Held June 5-7 in partnership with Life Restoration Ministries, the event focused on prayer, healing, faith and personal growth under the theme “Graves into Gardens.”
Participants took part in presentations, worship services, daily Mass, Eucharistic adoration, prayer opportunities and fellowship throughout the three-day conference.
Organizers said the gathering provided attendees with opportunities to strengthen their faith, build community and reflect on their spiritual journeys.
The conference marks the beginning of another busy summer at Franciscan University, which is also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Steubenville Youth Conferences.
Additional conferences, youth events and faith-based gatherings are scheduled throughout the summer on the university’s campus.
