Middle School Encounter 2026

Calling all students in grades 6-8: Please join for our annual Middle School Encounter! This year’s theme is Saints in the Making. This day-long retreat will be held at Kennedy Catholic High School.  

Some highlights include:  

  • Keynote speakers (TBD) 
  • Mass presided by Bishop Elizondo 
  • Live music 
  • Games  
  • Activities  
  • Adoration 
  • Lunch and refreshments included 

Looking at our saints for inspiration, we see that a life of holiness is possible – and fulfilling!  Saints aren’t just holy people from the past – they are people like you and me who live in the world today. Sainthood IS attainable. We are all saints in the making! 

Check back in January for more details. Registration opens mid-February 2026.
