Students to attend bi-annual Search retreat this weekend
by Jessica Giordano staff writer
In college, people search for meaning in a confusing world in various ways. Some have been helped in this journey by the Search retreat that is sponsored by Campus Ministry. This is the sixth time that Cabrini has held the retreat.
Search is a peer-run program that aims to help students get in touch with themselves, others and ultimately God. Students give the presentations, lead the discussions and direct the participants during the weekend. It is based on Christian themes, but it is open to all people of all religious backgrounds.
The Search program was imported from the University of Scranton and Villanova University during the spring semester of 1997. Since then, over 125 Cabrini students have participated in Search. Because of the positive experiences of the Cabrini students, Cabrini continues to offer this exciting retreat program.
The upcoming retreat will be held April 7-9 and will take place at Camp Neumann located in Jamison, PA. Eleven student leaders wi11attend along with 35 participants.
Campus minister John DiMucci thinks that Search is a great opportunity for students and something they are not likely to do once they get out of college. DiMucci also believes that Search can better one's life.
Search is designed to appeal to a very wide variety of people. Be~ cause you approach Search from "where you are" the experience is as individual and unique as there are people who participate.
When asked how he felt about his experience with Search, sophomore Colin McGinley said, "It is the best $35 you wilJ ever spend at Cabrini." Although it is too late to sign up for this upcoming Search Retreat, future dates are Nov. 17-19 during the Fall 2000 semester and March 23-25, 2001 during Spring 2001 semester.
