What is Destination Jesus?

It is a prayer festival to allow young people to find Jesus, welcome Him into their lives and build a daily relationship with Him.

Making Christ the center of our lives is the goal of the song, prayer and community filled weekend. Jesus, in the Blessed Sacrament, is placed at the center of the gymnasium that has been effectively turned into a church. Young adults surround this altar and commit the weekend to prayer, adoration, singing, listening to talks and sharing with other youth in an effort to empty themselves for Christ to fill them.

During the weekend, Eucharistic Adoration prevails. Also, a Mass will be celebrated by the Most Reverend William L. Higi, Bishop of the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is another staple of the weekend. An opportunity to receive the sacrament is available the entire weekend.

We also emphasize a devotion to Mary through the recitation of the rosary and rosary making.

Recreation and Community Building: Throughout the weekend, at meal times and at other breaks, the youth have an opportunity to visit one another, follow up on previous discussions, go to confession, pray together.

Hunger for Jesus: We need to keep feeding the hunger our youth have for Christ. Come and let us help one another grow together in Jesus!
