youthministry@saintlukemclean.org - 703-356-3092 (Youth Ministry direct line)
     While Life Teen and other programs are on break for the summer, we are still going strong with SUMMER NIGHTS!  Join us for fun, fellowship, games, and some prayer!  SUMMER NIGHTS meets Sunday evenings from 7-8:30pm.  We will be meeting at St. Luke and hanging out outside to ensure that we can practice appropriate social-distancing.  All high school and rising teens are welcome to attend!  Please bring a face mask in case we play a game that requires closer proximity or if we are spending some time inside in the chapel.​
"What is Work Camp?"
The Diocesan WorkCamp is a weeklong camp experience for high school youth to serve our brothers and sisters in need by making their homes safer, warmer, drier, and greener while also having the opportunity to grow in our Catholic faith.
     Work Camp is an opportunity for any eligible high school age youth to participate.  Work Camp takes place annually during the summer.  WorkCamp 2021 dates have not been set yet, but we'll update this page when we hear from the Diocese!
     St. Luke will be taking a group of high school youth to WorkCamp.  If WorkCamp 2021 is canceled, we will participate in Re-Boot, which is a supplementary day-camp version of WorkCamp that we do locally.  For more information on WorkCamp please visit our WorkCamp Tab & check out the Arlington Diocese webpage about WorkCamp.
“What is Steubenville Conference?”
     Steubenville conferences are high-energy youth conferences where thousands of teens are invited to encounter Jesus Christ through dynamic speakers, engaging music, the Sacraments, small group discussions, and fellowship with other teens.  These conferences help teens to encounter the love of Christ in a new way as well as building the church by evangelizing, equipping, and empowering God’s children to become radical and joyful disciples.  These conferences are an outreach of Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio.  They take place over a weekend on their campus in Steubenville, OH.  Participants will be housed on campus and all meals will be provided (bring some money for snacks!).

     All Steubenville Conferences in 2020 were canceled due to Covid-19.  Please check back in with this page at a later date for information about future conferences we may be attending in 2021!
     While Covid-19 wrecked most of our Summer 2020 plans, please check back in next Spring for information on what we will be doing in the Summer of 2021!  We're looking forward to one day returning to normal summer fun like Steubenville Conferences, Diocesan WorkCamp, King's Dominion, hikes, movies, sports, pilgrimages, retreats, & other spiritually enriching activities.
