The primary objective of a Búsqueda (Search) retreat is to awaken in Spanish-speaking youth (ages 14-17) the desire to be messengers of the Good News of 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 is presented in Spanish.

This event is sponsored by the Hispanic Ministry Office. For more information, contact Sr. Patty Nava, MCP, associate director of Hispanic youth ministry, at (501) 664-0340, ext. 364 or (214) 259-5403.
