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.  

Encounter Groups meet at the Antioch Annex. We meet every other week on Mondays for guys and Wednesday for girls from 6:30-8:00 pm.  

All high school students in grades 9-12 are invited to encounter Christ and their faith through a retreat weekend led by high school youth who have previously attended. The 2022 Fall Antioch Retreat will take place the weekend of October 7-9 at St. Marys in Lafayette from 7:00 pm Friday through 4:00 pm Sunday.

We promise you a fun, faith & Christ-filled weekend.

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

Registration for our 2023 pilgrimage to the March for Life in Washington DC will open in the fall of 2022.

2019 Details for reference:

This year our trip leaves from St. Elizabeth Seton in Carmel on the evening of January 17. We will be attending a youth rally in the DC area and then making our way over to march. That evening will be staying in a hotel just outside of New Jersey, before we wake up on Saturday to travel to New York City and visit the 9/11 Memorial Museum. We will end our trip with the Saturday night Vigil Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral before returning to Carmel early Sunday Morning.

Cost for the trip is $235 for quad occupancy.

We are only taking two buses on this trip so space is limited. To reserve your spot we must have your waiver and deposit turned in to the office of Catechesis.

We hope you are able to join us on this powerful pilgrimage to stand up for all stages of life!
