“The [Diocese of Arlington has designed these encounters as not mere field trips, local sightseeing, or clever projects – but invitations to encounter. To encounter God, His Church, and His people! Or rather, to let God encounter you! It is our wish that you will grow in this Encounter – grow in your relationship with Christ and with others.” (Diocese of Arlington) Encounters include topics such as: Emmitsburg, God in His Creation, “Little Rome”, St. Thomas More Cathedral, Pope St. JPII, Baking, Sacred Scripture, and more! Plan a fun day of encounter with family and friends.
