"Encounter" is a retreat program designed by the Dominican Sisters specifically for high school girls. Different from a vocation discernment retreat, this four-night, five-day retreat was formed out of the desire to help young ladies come to a genuine awareness that they are God's precious, beloved daughters.

The program follows a rigorous 6:00am-10:00pm agenda, filled with opportunities for retreatants to encounter God, themselves, and their fellow retreatants. Hosted at the convent (5250 Gasmer Dr., Houston, TX 77035), retreatants will have the chance to "unplug" from the world in order to "plug" into God within a convent setting. Conferences, reflections, group sharings, and ample silent time will focus on the essential themes of knowing & embracing oneself, discovering & encountering Jesus personally, and courageously seeking true love & happiness.
