Faith is a journey, and whenever we embark on a journey, we seek companionship. Encounter groups will cultivate a sense of companionship in a small group setting with fellow teens and adult mentors. Both guys and girls will meet on the same nights but will then split into separate gender-specific small groups. These encounter groups will enable teenagers to build genuine relationships while delving deeper into our faith through the wisdom of the saints and scripture

Please join us Feb. 28 - March 2nd, 2025

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

Check back here in February for registration. 

 What is Destination Jesus?

Destination Jesus is Saturday conference-style retreat for high school students. It is a day of prayer, games, food, and music, joining with other high school students, priests, seminarians, and nuns from around the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana.

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, June 27-29th, 2025.

The cost is approximately $300.00, which includes registration, all meals, on campus dorm housing, and 2025 Steubenville Conferences theme T-shirt! A deposit of $50.00 is due upon filling out the registration. Registration form and deposit are due by Nov. 18th. 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.
