WHEN DOES IT START? Weekend usually begin on Friday evenings around 7:30 p.m. and ends Sunday afternoon 4 p.m. WHERE IS IT HELD? The SEARCH weekend will be held at Sacred Heart Retreat Center in Dedeaux. WHO CAN COME? The SEARCH weekend is designed for high school teens (grades 11-12). Applications will be accepted according to grade levels with SENIORS having first priority. We will accept up to 45 participants for each weekend, and up to 3 to 4 people from each parish. HOW MUCH? Fee for the weekend is $100.00 This fee includes sleeping quarters, meals, and all the materials for the weekend. A non-refundable $50.00 deposit is required with all applications. DON’T LET THE COST BE A DECIDING FACTOR!! IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, CONTACT THE YOUTH OFFICE AND WE WILL WORK SOMETHING OUT. WHY SHOULD YOU GO? Well, first it is a great gift to you. To get away from all the “things” and to meet and to make a few good friends from throughout the diocese. Secondly, if your life is like a lot of young people, you have some questions concerning yourself, relationships that you are in, prayer, your faith, and the place of Church in your life. We’ll try to give you an opportunity to focus on these and maybe SEARCH and find some solutions. Lastly, maybe GOD wants you to be there, so HE can have a chance to spend a little time with you. Who knows this invitation may have found you for some heavenly reasons!!! |
