ENCOUNTER is for everyone who believes. Pass it on!
Encounter is the basis of mission. Without encounter, witness becomes phony, social justice partisan politics, and liturgical prayer lifeless rubrics. With encounter, witness becomes a heartfelt connection, justice the work of right relationships, and liturgy a joyous celebration of Emmanuel – God among us.
ENCOUNTER will bring you feature stories of Catholic women and men living mission. It aspires to inspire you to take your own “next step” in mission by engaging our tradition through mission. It will keep you in the know about USCMA happenings.
ENCOUNTER is an electronic newsletter of the United States Catholic Mission Association. USCMA relies exclusively on memberships and donations to fund its service to the Church and the world – building bridges of solidarity through mutual relationships.
