After being forced to cancel the fall 2020 youth encounter retreat due to COVID, we are excited to return to a Youth Encounter retreat in the spring of 2021. The weekend will be from Friday, April 9 to Sunday, April 11 at St. John the Evangelist Church in Ishpeming, MI. Please sign up today!

Jeff Cavins has a great podcast about beginning or enriching our spiritual disciplines.

Help us get the word out that the Youth Encounter movement is alive and well in the Diocese of Marquette, as we prepare for the 102nd Youth Encounter weekend March 13-15, 2020 at Fortune Lake Camp near Crystal Falls!
