2022 Ohio Teen Institute

Dear Eagle Eye Parents and Participants,

35  TEENS, 16-18+ years old and already strong in their Catholic Faith, are invited to a deepening of that faith during the 2022 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!

Last summer was our first summer for the Ohio Teen EESI at Maria Stein. Under the loving care of Our Blessed Mother we flourished in the welcoming community found at this quiet setting.

This summer, our classes focus on our theme, Affirming God’s Existence: the Darkness of Doubt to the Illumination of Truth. 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 35 participants Saturday evening, June 11th, 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). Beth Gillen is our registration coordinator. 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 $425* (Checks to be made out to Eagle Eye Ministries or pay online). If you know anyone who would support us as a donor, we are raising funds toward our 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 19, 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 2022 Eagle Eye Teen Summer Institute in June! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us throughout this endeavor!

*Please note – a discount will automatically be applied when multiple teens in the same family are registered together. Please be sure to complete all registrations for the same family in one transaction for the sibling discount to be applied.
