Search for Christian Maturity is a weekend retreat experience which provides youth an opportunity to think, talk, question and dive deeper into their faith. The weekends are for any high school or college age person at least 15 years old. The program is both rooted in the Catholic faith and open to young people of any denomination or creed. Search weekends are held five times throughout the year at the Badlands Ministries Camp just south of Medora. Cost for the weekend is $75. Partial scholarships are available. Weekends for the 2023-24 season are: Jan. 12-14, Mar. 1-3 and Apr. 12-14. Find more information at bismarckdiocese.com/search1.

Come in prayer to heal our nation. A patriotic rosary dedicates one Hail Mary in a traditional Catholic rosary to each state of the United States and asks God’s protection and guidance for our nation. This will be said the first and third Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. at Spirit of Life in Mandan. Please join as we come together and unite to strengthen our nation.

If you or someone you know has experienced an abortion either recently or in the past and are dealing with the aftereffects, contact the staff at Dakota Hope Clinic. This life-affirming clinic based in Minot offers a post-abortion support program called “Discover Peace.” This support program is offered in a small group setting, giving individuals the chance to share and heal, surrounded by those who have been in similar situations. A new Discover Peace support group is being offered soon. The course will run Monday nights from 6 to 7:30 p.m. For more information, including location, go to dakotahope.org and click the post-abortion support tab under the free services tab to fill out a confidential form and the program facilitator will contact you.

Diocesan offices will be closed July 3 and July 4 in observance of the Independence Day holiday.
