Junior Encounter
The Encounter is a three-day retreat that takes place at St. Benedict’s Lodge on the McKenzie River. It provides an opportunity for junior boys and girls to experience a profound encounter of self, others, and God in the light of Christian faith. Through engaging peer talks, journaling, and small and large group conversations and activities, students will retreat from ordinary life to a unique place where they can slow down, take stock, appreciate, heal, and look forward. There is something for everyone on the Encounter, and students all report that you don’t really get Marist until you make your Encounter! Seniors who did not attend the Encounter as juniors are also encouraged to join in.
