CLE 21:6 - Diocesan High School Youth Conference

CLE 21:6 is a dynamic one-day conference hosted by the Diocese of Cleveland’s Office of Youth Ministry. Each year the conference highlights a different Scripture passage, and in 2026 the theme is JOY, inspired by Genesis 21:6. This vibrant gathering invites high school teens to deepen their faith, encounter the joy of Christ, and share in the life of the Young Church.

“God has given me cause to laugh, and all who hear of it will laugh with me.” - Genesis 21:6

  • Did the Name Change?
