CLE: Middle - Diocesan Middle School Youth Conference

CLE: Middle is a one-day Catholic youth conference designed especially for students in 6th through 8th grade. Hosted in the heart of the Diocese of Cleveland, this powerful retreat-style experience invites middle schoolers to encounter Jesus in a way that is fun, prayerful, and unforgettable. From meaningful moments of prayer to high-energy games and music, this day is created to reach young people right where they are and inspire them to go deeper.

The conference will include Eucharistic Adoration, praise & worship, small group, games, and the Holy Mass, helping students understand that they are not the future of the Church—they are the Church right now.

Tickets can ONLY be purchased by youth ministers, campus ministers, parish or school group leaders. Youth must attend with a parish or school group, with the necessary number of chaperones, and cannot buy tickets individually. You will purchase need to purchase tickets for both youth and adult chaperones.

Each group can only purchase a maximum of 25 tickets for youth AND chaperones.
This is our first year, and we are deliberately keeping the conference small.

Groups need to have two adults for the first 10 youth, and at least one adult for every eight youth after that.

• 1-10 youth + at least 2 adults
• 11-18 youth + at least 3 adults
• 19-25 youth + at least 4 adults

If your parish/school is not attending, please contact Francine Costantini and she will help connect you to a group.
