Dear Eagle Eye Parents and Participants,
30  TEENS, 16-18+ years old and already strong in their Catholic Faith, are invited to a deepening of that faith during the 2025 Eagle Eye Summer Institute in Maria Stein, OH! Come join us on an eight-day summer session full of fun, friendship, recreation, prayer, and study. Led by the Brothers and Sisters of St. John, we are dedicated to helping you make this experience the best it can be!

This summer, our classes in theology and philosophy, with instruction by the Brothers and Sisters of St. John, will focus on our theme, “Our Hope Does Not Disappoint: God is the Rock Who Anchors Our Soul”. Our study theme,  along with daily Mass, Offices, and a Holy Hour, gives teens time to grow closer to Christ. We encourage you to take this opportunity to know God and discover His plan for you.

We will welcome 30 participants Saturday evening, June 7th, at The Spiritual Center of Maria Stein in Maria Stein, Ohio. Please arrive between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. A light snack will be served that evening, so please be sure your teen has dinner prior to arrival.

The EEM website link asks for completion of the form needed for registration (please submit as soon as possible but before May 1). If you have any questions about registration please email Rachael ([email protected]). Delicious meals, comfortable lodging, study materials, camping and hiking fees as well as travel and expenses for the team of religious are included in the non-refundable registration fee of $575* (You may pay online or mail in a check made out to Eagle Eye Ministries to secure your spot**). It was necessary to raise the fee for registration for 2025 after 2 years at the same price. We are able to keep the registration fee less than our actual expenses due to generous donors. If you know anyone who would support our Institute financially, we are raising funds toward expenses for travel and stipends for the religious. For those considering a donation, please contact Kathy Kimar ([email protected]).

The Eagle Eye experience will end on Sunday, June 15, with Mass at 11:30am, followed by a picnic lunch for the teens, their families and staff. Please plan to join us for the Mass and a pot luck lunch to follow. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are fortunate to have many volunteers helping to organize the Eagle Eye Summer Institute. We are grateful for those who have willingly donated time and/or food to make this retreat possible. We always welcome the assistance of volunteers.

We look forward to seeing you at our 2025 Eagle Eye Teen Summer Institute in June! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us throughout this endeavor!
