High school youth invited to Search #156

Published: May 23, 2025

Applications are now being accepted for Search #156. It will be held at St. John Catholic Center in Little Rock June 27-29. Search is a faith formation program for high school juniors and seniors designed to help them get to know themselves better, deepen their relationship with Christ and find support in living out their faith in the world.

The summer Search weekend is open to incoming juniors and seniors and recently graduated seniors. The fee to attend is $150 per person. Scholarships are available. The early registration deadline is June 13. If spots are still available after the deadline, late registrations will be accepted.

Online registration is now available. Click here to register online or mail registration by downloading and returning the registration form (PDF format) with the deposit or complete fee to the address provided by the deadline.

This retreat is planned, prepared and presented by a team of high school juniors and seniors who have already attended Search. Though it is a Catholic program, Search is open to teens of all faiths. It is sponsored by the diocese's Catholic Youth Ministry Office. For more information, e-mail Tricia Gentry or call her at (501) 664-0340, ext. 418.

The Search Prayer

Lord, there are a great many people who are searching for you and trying to find a place for you in their lives. Others are trying to renew their faith in you, to rediscover your love and grace and keep it forever. I am part of these many people who need you. Please be with me throughout my search and renewal of faith in you. Your love is unconditional and will help the road ahead seem easier. Help me to put my trust in you, to rely on you in times of need and to share with you my times of joy. Help me to know that you will always be there for me, for this Search, the fourth day, and all of the other personal searches I will have. Thank you for making me the unique person I am, and thank you for loving me as “ME." Help me to always know this and help me to always love you. Through your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
