Steubenville Conferences
The Steubenville Youth Conferences, an outreach of Franciscan University of Steubenville, are a series of conferences across North America that help teens encounter the love of Christ every summer.

Catholic Youth Ministry Convention
Life Teen’s Catholic Youth Ministry Convention has become America’s premier event for everyone involved in parish youth ministry. Why? Maybe it’s because we are different. We believe in practical, comprehensive youth ministry training. But we don’t think that’s enough. That’s why we incorporate elements of a spiritual retreat into the training convention. Because youth ministry isn’t about what you know, it’s Who you know.

I Choose the Sky
There are many women who are a vital part of salvation history and their stories are critical parts of Sacred Scripture. This scriptural devotion will inspire young women to raise their heads along with Mary, Martha, Lydia, and Esther and look into the eyes of Jesus, the God who loves deeply and perfectly.

True North
You are going to make thousands of decisions today and one of them might change your life. Are you confident that what you want and what God want are the same thing? Don’t leave it up to chance - leave it in the hands of the Holy Spirit.

Eternal Crown

Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory

About this Life Night

During the Gather the teens, in small groups, work together to choose the ending of the story. The Proclaim discusses the choice God gives us to choose life with Him or life without Him and how that choice extends into eternity. The Break is a small group discussion on the Proclaim. During the Send, the teens learn about and receive a Miraculous Medal.

Goal of This Night

The goal of Eternal Crown is to understand Heaven and Hell through the lens of Mary, Queen of Heaven, and to teach that our eternal end is our choice.

Catechism

# 1023 - 1037

Scripture

Matthew 13:41 -42

1 John 3:2

Revelation 11:19

Key Concepts

• Heaven is our ultimate end and the fulfillment of our deepest human longings. It is the state of supreme happiness. It is in union with God.

• Hell is the opposite of Heaven. It is absolute isolation from God who alone can satisfy our deepest longings. It is complete emptiness.

• In the book of Revelation, the Protoevangelium comes full circle. The woman and her offspring fight their enemy, the serpent. The blood of the sacrificial lamb conquers sin and the faithful gain access to union with God in Heaven.

Key Terms

Assumption
Heaven
Hell
Purgatory
