For this year’s fall retreat, we will be joining Titan Catholic (Catholic community at Cal State Fullerton) in Idyllwild, CA for “The Father’s House” FOCUS retreat. We will be diving into the closeness and healing mercy of God’s Fatherhood through talks, small groups, the sacraments, and prayer periods. Participants can expect to receive a better understanding of the Father’s individual Love for them by the end of this retreat, going forth with conviction that their identity never wavers as His son or daughter.

Dates: October 25-27, 2024

Location: Idyllwild, CA

Spots: 40

Cost: $300*

*scholarships available, please contact a FOCUS missionary if experiencing financial limitations

Each year, we bring 60-75 students from Beach Catholic to SEEK, a national annual Catholic conference held during the first week of January! It is a week of talks from famous Catholic speakers, celebrating the sacraments with 20,000 other college students from across the world, and truly encountering the Lord together in the body of Christ. Almost every single student that has gone to SEEK in the past has said that it was one of the most incredible and spiritually nourishing weeks of their lives because they met the living God face-to-face.

Spots fill up quick! You can register at https://seek.focus.org and put Cal State Long Beach as your campus if you would like to go with us.

When: January 1-5, 2024

Where: Salt Lake City, UT (we will be bussing there with other FOCUS schools in SoCal)

Cost: $549 event pass if you register before Oct 29 + hotel and travel costs*

*if experiencing financial difficulty, scholarships are available! Reach out to a FOCUS missionary via Slack. We never allow finances to be a barrier for a student to go on a retreat or trip where they will encounter Christ. The missionaries also coach students on how to fundraise, if that is of interest to someone to lower the cost
