Faith is a journey and anytime we go on a journey, we desire companionship.  Encounter groups will foster companionship in a small group setting with 5-10 fellow teens along with 2-3 adult mentors.  Guys will meet with guys and girls will meet with girls.  Encounter groups will allow teens to form authentic relationships while diving deeper into our faith.  Encounter groups will offer mentorship and support from adult leaders.  

Girls Encounter Group meets at the Antioch Annex. We meet every other week on Wednesday from 6:30-8:00 pm.  Meetings begin the last week of August.  

Guys Encounter Group will be different this year.  We will be visiting parishioners who have requested help with projects around their homes.  We meet every other week on Wednesday from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the parishioners' homes.  Each week will be different, so it will be important that we have your contact information.  Please fill out the following form to participate.

Mission Statement & Goals

Destination Jesus is a Catholic retreat that draws young people into a deep and lasting union with Jesus Christ, especially through the sacramental encounter. Opportunity for healing in the Eucharist and Reconciliation allows participants to experience true freedom in God’s mercy. The retreat aims to:

1. Promote knowledge and love of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament – the source and summit of the Christian life.
2. Inspire devotion to Mary, the Mother of God.
3. Encourage fidelity to the teachings of the Catholic Church and the Magisterium.
4. Awaken discernment of Holy Vocations as ordained by God and His Holy Church

Calling all high schoolers!  Throughout the Bible, the Lord tells us over and over again, "Be not afraid," and he continues to speak these words to us today.  Join hundreds of Catholic teens at 'Fearless' on the Franciscan University of Steubenville main campus event to experience the peace of Jesus Christ, who is always faithful and will never abandon us.  All rising freshmen in high school through rising freshmen in college are invited to attend this retreat with our group, July, 2024.

The cost is approximately $245.00, which includes registration, all meals, on campus dorm housing, and 2022 Steubenville Conferences theme T-shirt! A deposit of $50.00 is due upon filling out the registration. Registration form and deposit are due by April 30th. Final payment is due by May 10th. There will also be a 'travel' fee to be determined when we have a final count of attendees and due at a later date. This will be in the range of $10-$40. The more attendees, the less the travel fee.
