Saint Meinrad’s three-phase program, LISTEN—Looking into the Soul: Tools for Everyday Needs, seeks out youth from colleges and parishes and helps build faith communities, as well as helping bridge the gap between youth programs and a greater discernment to a life of service to God.The initial phase is a one-day recollection held on campus or in the parish, to provide young adults a chance to meet and discuss their faith, Catholic identity and discernment. Phase two is a more intense three-day retreat held at Saint Meinrad. In the final phase of the program, participants are provided with a handbook to help facilitate ongoing discussion and theological reflection. In addition, participants are asked to do a community service project, which is the subject of later discussion.
The program is designed to be custom fit to each parish or college.
