What happens at SEARCH?

We'll hear talks from fellow college students about the many ways we can come closer to God, followed by a chance to share our thoughts in small groups. There is also personal time for reflection and prayer. A coffee-house style party will be held Saturday night with music, food, and drink. Everyone will get to meet new friends, renew old friendships, and have a great time.

“I was recently told that in order to start a good strong relationship, you have to start with yourself. This really made sense to me.”
Talk on Relationships

“Because I talked and listened to God, he showed me the way to cope with the issues of my life and put me on track to come here before you now.”
Talk on Coping

Who is SEARCH for?

SEARCH is for you. It is Catholic in orientation, but is open to all
college students wanting to learn more about
God in their lives and more about themselves.

“I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

John 13:34-35
