Why LA/SGV Search?

For more than five decades, the LA/SGV Search Catholic Ministry has been opening doors to deeper understanding and connection within the Catholic Christian faith. Through our weekend retreats, participants embark on a journey of discovery, gaining insight not only from seasoned leaders but also from their peers who are navigating similar paths. It’s a dynamic exchange of ideas, experiences, and faith that leaves a lasting impact on all who participate.

EVANGELIZATION

At the Los Angeles San Gabriel Valley (LA/SGV) Search Ministry, we believe in the power of balanced and proven methods of evangelization. Our approach offers a starting point for those seeking to deepen their commitment to Christ and the Catholic Church. Whether you're just beginning your spiritual journey or looking to reaffirm your faith, we're here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

DISCIPLESHIP

The LA/SGV Search Ministry welcomes young adults and adults who are young at heart to join in the call to serve both within our community and their own parish. After completing the Search Weekend Retreat, individuals become eligible for membership and may volunteer to assist our ministry in various capacities. It's an opportunity to deepen your connection to faith while actively contributing to the growth and mission of our ministry.

VOCATIONS

The LA/SGV Search weekend retreats create the perfect environment for young adults to listen for that special call to ministry. What's even more exciting is the tight-knit community that blossoms after the retreat. Here, we embrace all vocations, whether it's a calling to priesthood, religious life, holy matrimony, or the fulfilling path of singlehood. Whatever your journey, there's a place for you to explore, grow, and thrive within our supportive and welcoming community.

SACRAMENTS

We believe in the power of carefully orchestrated liturgical prayer to uplift and inspire. During each LA/SGV Search weekend retreat, you'll experience the profound beauty of Eucharistic celebrations and the opportunity for reconciliation—moments of grace and renewal that touch the soul.

COMMUNITY

From the moment you step into our community, you'll be embraced by a spirit of warmth and camaraderie that extends far beyond the retreat experience. We believe in the power of giving back and making a difference, which is why participants are encouraged pay it forward by volunteering for future weekend retreats and stay connected for reunions, activities, and ongoing conversations that keep the spirit of the retreat alive long after it's over.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH

From heartfelt small group discussions to sacred moments of personal prayer, every experience is designed to help participants deepen their relationship with Christ and their Catholic faith. Through a dynamic blend of interactive activities, reflective sessions, and meaningful sacramental prayers, participants embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual renewal. It's a chance to step into their faith with confidence and embrace the transformative power of encountering Christ in every aspect of their life.
