Published: December 12, 2024
Applications are now being accepted for the youth team to lead Búsqueda #54. The deadline to apply is Jan. 16. Youth applicants must have lived Busqueda, be active in their parish and youth group, be recommended by their pastor and able to attend planning meetings. See the application form for details.

Búsqueda (Search) is a faith formation program for Spanish-speaking youth ages 14-17. It is designed to awaken the desire for youth to be messengers of the Good News of Jesus Christ to others. It is a method, used by other movements in the Catholic Church, to guide young people to a mature, Christian human growth, gaining knowledge of themselves and their relationships with God and others. Búsqueda weekends include Mass, talks, videos, music, skits, prayer and small group discussions led by a team of youth who have previously lived the experience.
Teens who wish to attend Búsqueda #54 should complete and return the candidate application form with fee to the address provided by March 27. The cost to attend is $100. All these events will be held at St. John Catholic Center in Little Rock. For more information, email Sister Ana Luisa Díaz Vázquez, MCP, associate director for Hispanic youth and young adult ministry, or call her at (501) 664-0340, ext. 364.
