December 15 - 18, 2023
Centerburg, OH

A 4-day experience where young adults are empowered to live out the mission of Jesus

At some point all of us ask ourselves these questions:

  • Who am I?
  • Where am I going?
  • What is my purpose?
  • Do I have what it takes to carry it out?

Some people never find the answers. They spend their lives running from the questions.

But some people go looking. And like the first disciples, they meet a man who asks them, “What are you looking for?”

You don’t have to have the perfect answers. You just have to ask the right person. And to those who are looking, Jesus gives you this invitation: Come and see.

Gather

Connect with the community of the universal Church- share stories, process together, and take on some friendly competition.

Glorify

Open your heart to God with daily Mass, Adoration, and times of praise and worship.
