Franciscan University of Steubenville will host "Night of Joy" on April 24 at the Pope St. Paul VI Event Center. The event, which will be streamed online and open to in-person attendance at no cost, is scheduled from 7-9 p.m. Eastern Time.

"Night of Joy" coincides with the Octave of Easter, offering attendees a chance to celebrate the season of the Resurrection. The evening will feature worship music by international country artist John Paul Von Arx, a keynote speech by Deacon Bob Rice, and spiritual activities with Father Dave Pivonka, the university's president.

The event is sponsored by Steubenville Conferences and follows the success of last year's "Night of Hope" held during Advent. The organizers intend to make both events annual fixtures to support faith development.
