ECHO — Encountering Christ in Others — has been active on the Cape and Islands for forty years. This teen weekend retreat program, under the auspices of the Fall River Diocese, is open to all high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, who are seeking to deepen their faith and enhance their relationship with Jesus.

Six separate programs are offered between November and April each year -- three for young men and three for young women. The weekends are held at the Craigville Conference Center in Centerville, MA. They begin on Friday evening and end on Sunday night. The teams that facilitate each retreat are made up of priests, nuns, deacons, the laity and teenagers who have previously experienced an ECHO weekend.

ECHO provides its participants with the opportunity to share in the sacramental life of the Church and to experience this in a loving community of faith.
