Search 205

The Search Program is an instrument through which the Holy Spirit speaks to and directs young people through the works, actions, and lives of their peers. It provides an opportunity for each young person to gain greater insight into the meaning of Christianity in their life and thoughts of those their own age who have begun already to find and discover insights and meanings.

Search is a peer-led retreat weekend sponsored by the Diocese of Raleigh that touches people’s lives because it encourages participants to seek and find Christ in them and in one another. It is a series of witness talks and activities prepared and given by a team of high school youth. The weekend gives you the opportunity to look at your faith and life in a new way.

10th, 11th,12th graders, college freshmen, and adults who work with them, who want to be a part of an exciting and different weekend attend a Search Retreat. People participate in the Search program for various reasons. Some go to experience something different, others to meet and spend time with people their own age. Some have a strong faith while others are questioning God’s existence. Don’t let nervousness stand in the way of a special weekend. Please join us for an experience that will be long remembered.

Please note that unlike parish-based retreats, teens do not need chaperone's from their parish to attend with them and participants can come on their own or as a group with their parish.
