A Parish Encounter is a four-day event, with a talk and a guided Holy Hour each night led by the Sisters.

Each night we go deeper in the beautiful truths of our Catholic Faith with a different topic, covering the reality of grace and the Indwelling Trinity, Our Eucharistic Lord and the Lament of His Sacred Heart, the power and beauty of Our Blessed Mother Mary, and why we should remain in the Catholic Church amidst trials and tribulations.

Afterwards, there is a Holy Hour where all are invited to come close to Our Eucharistic Lord, majestically enthroned on the altar. With live music, meditations, opportunities for confession and a face-to-Face, heart-to-Heart encounter with Jesus, these Holy Hours will certainly ignite the fire of love in your heart for Love Himself!

The goal of a Parish Encounter is simply to have people encounter (or re-encounter!) the Person of Jesus Christ, truly, substantially living among us in the Holy Eucharist! No matter where your parish stands with regard to its Adoration schedule, a Parish Encounter can help take it to the next level!

During the Encounter, parishioners are encouraged each night to sign up for the Adoration hours you are seeking to cover as you expand availability for Adoration.

We also encourage greater devotion to Our Lady by way of making a Marian consecration, to hasten the triumph of Her Immaculate Heart. Of his vision, “The Two Pillars,” St. John Bosco said, Very grave trials await the Church. What we have suffered so far is almost nothing compared to what is going to happen. The enemies of the Church are symbolised by the ships which strive their utmost to sink the flagship. Only two things can save us in such a grave hour: devotion to Mary and frequent Communion. Let us do our very best to use these two means and have others use them everywhere.”

If there is a school connected with your parish, a School Mini-Encounter can also be arranged! Mirroring the topics covered during the Parish Encounter held in the evenings, the Sisters lead the school children of all ages through a rotation of a lesson (age-appropriate), Adoration, learning about a Saint, singing a catchy catechetical song, and making a craft to take home for their prayer corner!
