By Carroll College’s most secretive retreat, Search, returned for a second stint of the school year on March 29.
After a successful Search during the fall semester, Campus Ministry decided to put on a second retreat for those students who were unable to attend the first one.
Students who participated had an amazing experience filled with many graces.
One of those students was Ryan Frampton, a sophomore Philosophy and Catholic Studies double major from Whitefish, Montana.
“Search was an incredible experience that allowed for fellowship with friends, a chance to grow with upperclassmen, and an opportunity to better open my heart to the love of God,” said Frampton.
Search is a Carroll tradition that takes place once or twice during the school year. It is a spiritual retreat sponsored and put on by fellow students.
One of the students who helped put it on was Grace Kraut, a senior psychology and public health major from Spokane, Washington.
“Helping with Search was a great opportunity to build and grow in relationship with searchers, and deepen our faith together,” stated Kraut.
Search provides a way for students to deeply reflect on their relationship with God, and to more deeply engage in the Carroll Community through meeting new people, sharing faith, and praying together.
Search is usually held at an off-campus location that nobody knows the exact name or whereabouts of. This is just one of the many things that are kept secret about the Search retreat. Students who have gone before are not allowed to speak of or share details about their time away from campus.
All students, be sure to look out for Search next fall. The retreat is open to all students. Students of all religious backgrounds are welcome.
