Our youth live in a diocese that is only 3% Catholic, the Office of Youth Ministry allows our Catholic youth to gather at retreats and conferences.  They have opportunities to interact with other Catholic youth, engage in their faith, and learn the importance of developing a relationship with God. The Office of Youth Ministry also assists Youth Ministers around the diocese so that our Catholic Youth are engaged in their faith.

" I went into the SEARCH retreat already searching because I was going through Confirmation at the time and SEARCH gave me the space to listen to God and let him and the SEARCH staff poor their love into me. SEARCH was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested!"
