Encounter: High School Youth Ministry

High School youth ministry for Assumption, St John Neumann and Sacred Heart parishes!

Spring Retreat Theme: SPOKEN

Does God care? Does He hear me when I speak to Him? If He hears me, does He speak back, and how can I know what He is saying? Communication is essential to every relationship, so it is not uncommon for these questions to arise when we talk about having a relationship with God.

During this retreat, we will explore the Word of God and discover the love of God through His self-revelation. God has spoken, and He continues to speak. God spoke each of us into existence and desires a personal relationship with us. We can learn to hear His voice by becoming familiar with the way He has communicated throughout salvation history and ultimately through Jesus Christ. Spoken will lead you through the Scriptures and offers unique encounters with God through prayer and the sacraments so that you can live rooted in His Word.

Encounter is the youth ministry program for high school teens.

It is a place where teens can be themselves, learn about their faith, ask questions, have fun, make friends, and get away from the stress of their everyday lives.

Encounter meets every other Sunday at St. John Neumann starting with the 11:30am Mass! There is always lunch, zany icebreakers, a message relevant to your everyday life and faith. Bring your friends (they don’t have to be Catholic) and make some new ones!

Encounter events include: youth group, service days, retreats, bible study, small groups, mission trips and social activities.
