Notre Dame Encounter

NDE

Inward, Upward, Outward.

Have you done it yet?

Attending the Notre Dame Encounter with Christ Retreat (NDE) has long been a tradition for all Notre Dame students. Often students will ask each other, “Have you done your NDE yet?” Because faith is such an integral component of the Notre Dame experience, it’s no wonder that students place such an emphasis on attending NDE.

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to grow in faith with other members of our Notre Dame family! Take a break from the crazy schedule of college life and join us for a wonderful weekend.

Through the three phases of the NDE weekend – inward, upward, and outward – this retreat will challenge you towards three main goals:

  • to look inward and reflect on God’s friendship in your life
  • to look upward and focus your life on Christ in faith
  • to reach outward to spread the good news of the Gospel to all people.

Various presentations, small group discussions, liturgies, as well as fun activities bring you together with new friends and allow you to explore more deeply the meaning of your relationship with God and your commitment to living a Christian life.

Who can attend?

Any undergraduate student.

What will I be attending?
