The Search Retreat is for sophomores, juniors and seniors. This retreat is designed for all who are searching for something more in life, with a focus on reflecting and building upon your relationship with yourself, others and God.

Regardless of where you are on your faith journey, Search seeks to offer you a meaningful experience. Search includes student reflections, opportunities for quiet reflection, small group discussions, free time and a variety of interactive community building activities. The Search Retreat also includes the exploration of various elements of the Christian faith including the topics of community, identity, discipleship, forgiveness, prayer and the body of Christ. 

The Search Retreat is implemented at colleges, universities, parishes and other organizations throughout the country and even throughout the world. Each community implements the retreat in different ways. Here at DePaul we are building the Search tradition, which many people have found to be very helpful to their college journey, their faith and their community. Be part of the community, be on Search!
