SEARCH

SEARCH, sponsored by the Diocese of Bismarck, is a weekend-long retreat for youth that takes place several times throughout the year.  It is led by a team of young adults and helps youth in the search of Christian maturity by addressing important life and faith issues.  At SEARCH, individuals are reminded of God’s call and are given tools to commit their lives to that call.  All SEARCH participants must be pre-registered, unmarried, and at least 15 years of age. This retreat takes place in beautiful Medora, North Dakota.

SEARCH re-CONNECTs
In the difficult time we find ourselves in, we will not be able to have regular Search weekends. But in place of them we will be putting on a number of retreat days for the Search family and others interested in Search to “re-CONNECTS” with each other and to continue to grow in our faith and learn ministry skills to share it. We will call these Saturday’s “SEARCH re-CONNECTS”.

The “re-CONNECTS” retreat days will be held in local parishes and will run from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. to allow time for people to travel to and from the retreat without having to stay overnight. The days will include: Mass, praise and worship, great food, adult and student talks, ministry and leadership training, small groups ...  and, maybe most importantly, time for fellowship, play, relationship building and support. The days are open to any past Searcher and anyone interested in attending. The age requirement of 15+ remains the same and the cost for each day is $25. 

The number of registration allowed for a day will be limited to the size of the facility we will be using to allow for social distancing, so early registration is a must: please have youth and young adults register no later than the Friday a week and a day before the “re-CONNECTS” retreat day.
