SEEK23
January 2-6, 2023

SEEK23 is a one-of-a-kind national Catholic conference for young adults where thousands gather as small groups to ask the big questions about joy, peace, hope, and salvation. This will be the fifth year that Duke Catholic Center staff and students will attend. SEEK23 brings together thousands of Catholic college students for five days of encounter with the Gospel. It will feature prayer, dynamic speakers (such as Fr. Mike Schmitz, Chika Anyanwu, Paul J. Kim, and Bishop Robert Barron), and small group discussions, impact sessions, daily Mass, and Adoration.

SEEK23 will take place in person in St. Louis, MO from January 2-6, 2023.

abLAze retreat
february 10-12, 2023

Sign up coming soon!

A weekend-long retreat that will allow you to deepen your faith and grow in your relationship with the Holy Spirit. It is an amazing experience for those who are spiritually searching and are not sure of God’s role in their lives but want to know more, as well as for those who feel they are at a solid place in their faith/prayer life and are just looking to dig a little deeper. You are given the time and space to step away from hectic campus life and take time to look inwardly and think about your own spiritual journey.

At the retreat, there are also great activities that help you to get to know and connect with other students within the Duke Catholic Center community.

Ignite Retreat
September 1-3, 2023

A retreat for First and Second Years, Ignite introduces you to fellow students looking to grow together in their faith. You’ll form friendships that will stick with you all four years of college. You’ll hear advice and insights from upperclassmen. And you’ll get to know your Catholic identity in a new way. All while enjoying the warm sand and refreshing waves of the beach!

Our Ignite Retreat will be Friday evening through Sunday afternoon at Trinity Center in Salter Path, NC.
