Are you curious about Christianity? Are you looking for something more? Tulane Catholic invites you to join us on our Encounter Retreat! Encounter is a student-run weekend retreat that focuses on exploring a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You'll have the opportunity to explore the faith more deeply, ask questions, form lasting and authentic relationships with other Tulane students, and get off campus for a weekend! Encounter is open to all college students of any and all religious backgrounds. We hope to see you there!

The Fall 2021 Encounter Retreat (#13) will be held:
TBD

The first Encounter Retreat was held in the Fall of 2014.

Each semester Tulane Catholic hosts an "Encounter" retreat for college students (18-25).  The retreat is a ministry to students, by students, with a focus on encountering Jesus Christ.  It is coordinated, prepared, and conducted by Tulane students.

Encounter is a place to explore Christianity more deeply and to form lasting friendships with fellow Tulane students. You'll get the opportunity to ask questions, have meaningful discussions in small groups, pray, enjoy a weekend off campus, and have fun while doing it! 



Q&A's 
1. Do I have to be Christian/Cathoic? 
No! The Encounter Retreat is for all college students of any and all religious backgrounds! If you are not Christian/Catholic, this retreat is a wonderful opportunity to explore the faith more deeply and experience something beautiful and new. 

2. Where is the Encounter Retreat? 
Retreat is held at Camp Abbey in Covington LA. Transportation, meals, and lodging are all included in the registration fee of just $50.00 for the entire weekend. Camp Abbey is a beautiful sight off campus and a great place to get some fresh air and escape the Tulane bubble for a short time. 

3. What will I be doing on Encounter? 
On retreat, you will be listening to talks, discussing in small groups, playing games, and learning more about the person, Jesus Christ. There will also be time for prayer and free time to enjoy Camp Abbey and bond with fellow Tulane Students. 

4. What if I've never been on a retreat before? 
That's more than okay! The Encounter Retreat is designed to meet everyone exactly where they're at. So don't worry if you've never experienced a retreat before or if you have never experienced Christianity before. 

If you have any further questions please email sromano@tulane.edu or visit our Catholic Center at 1037 Audubon St, New Orleans, LA 70118. We hope to see you on retreat soon!
