“The Diocese of Knoxville joins the people of East Tennessee and countless admirers around the world in mourning the passing of Dolly Parton on Aug. 25. She was a daughter of Sevier County, and her life carried the spirit of our mountain home far beyond the Smokies. She was shaped by these hills and these churches. Her life shows what can grow from faith, perseverance, imagination, and love for one's neighbors — even from humble beginnings.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. 🦋”

-The Diocese of Knoxville

If you or someone you know has children, please share and sign up for Dolly’s Imagination Library for free monthly books for ages 0-5!

SEARCH for Christian Maturity is a weekend retreat experience sponsored by the Office of Youth, Young Adult, and Pastoral Juvenil Ministry. The weekends are for any high school juniors and seniors. The program is both rooted in the Catholic faith and open to young people of any denomination or creed.

The essential component of SEARCH is its youth-to-youth approach, referred to as peer ministry. This component cannot be stressed enough; other programs can be valuable, but no one can talk with and relate to another better than a peer.

Registration Deadline: Sept. 16
