Only a week to go before this year's exciting Summer Intensive. Who do you want to experience greater freedom, joy, intimacy with God, the ability to hear his voice, and an understanding of how God can work powerfully through them? Invite them to the Summer Intensive! The friends of the paralytic had such bold faith that they opened a hole in the roof to lower their friend down for an encounter with Jesus that transformed his life. The Lord has placed you among others who need to know his transforming work, and bringing someone to the Encounter Summer Intensive is an effective way to do that.

We pray for all of our students and graduates, that the Lord would continue to shine in and through you, filling you with his grace, drawing you ever closer to Him, and making you increasingly effective in His mission.

Are You Hungry for More of God?

Do you ever sense that there’s more to the Christian life—more love, more healing, more power—than what you’ve experienced so far?

Jesus promised abundant life, freedom, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Too many Catholics believe in Him, but live without the fullness of what He offers. The Encounter School of Ministry exists to change that.

We’re inviting you to Come and See what life can be like when you’re truly alive in the Holy Spirit.

At Encounter, we teach, equip, and activate ordinary Catholics to live extraordinary lives, walking in step with the Holy Spirit and bringing the love of Jesus into their families, parishes, and communities. You’ll learn how to hear God’s voice, pray with power, and live as a disciple filled with boldness and joy.

Our teachings are deeply rooted in Scripture and Catholic Tradition, and have been vetted by respected theologians and scholars. But this isn’t just learning—it’s transformation. Each session is followed by practical exercises that help you encounter God personally and move in the gifts of the Spirit.

The Encounter Summer Intensive at the DC Campus is nearly upon us! We’d love for you to experience it for yourself... AND bring a friend!

Wow. This is so honest and open and love Pope Leo 14tb first statements of the challenges of faith I share with him

*Quote from Pope Leo XIV.*

I like him already:

" Brothers, sisters…
I speak to you, especially to those who no longer believe, no longer hope, no longer pray, because they think God has left.

To those who are fed up with scandals, with misused power, with the silence of a Church that sometimes seems more like a palace than a home.

I, too, was angry with God.
I, too, saw good people die, children suffer, grandparents cry without medicine.
And yes… there were days when I prayed and only felt an echo.

But then I discovered something:
God doesn't shout. God whispers.
And sometimes He whispers from the mud, from pain, from a grandmother who feeds you without having anything.

I don't come to offer you perfect faith.
I come to tell you that faith is a walk with stones, puddles, and unexpected hugs.

I'm not asking you to believe in everything.
I'm asking you not to close the door. Give a chance to the God who waits for you without judgment.

I'm just a priest who saw God in the smile of a woman who lost her son... and yet she cooked for others.

That changed me.

So if you're broken, if you don't believe, if you're tired of the lies...
come anyway. With your anger, your doubt, your dirty backpack.
No one here will ask you for a VIP card.

Because this Church, as long as I breathe, will be a home for the homeless, and a rest for the weary.

God doesn't need soldiers.
He needs brothers.

And you, yes, you...
are one of them."

Robert Prevost (Leo XIV)
