JIL
JIL is the youth movement of Marriage Encounter (ME). The abbreviation stands for Jesus invites us to love .
The organization, which is structured by country, organizes weekend seminars for young people around the world , in which, in the spirit of the Encounter movement, suggestions for in-depth encounters are given, including emotions .
The seminars are primarily intended for individuals who have a Christian faith, but people from far away can also take part, provided they are open to religious content. There are also special forms for befriended couples and for fiancées (“Engaged Encounter”).
The two-day seminars take place on weekends , mostly in small event centers or Catholic educational institutions . They are led by a married couple with experience in ME and a priest.
