How many people can a diocese send to Encuentro 2000?
A diocese may send as many people as it wishes to Los Angeles for the national celebration of Encuentro 2000. The goal is to have a broad participation of cultures at the national celebration. • May a parish send participants to Encuentro 2000 or must they be sent by the diocese? Pastors are urged to bring representative members of the people in their parishes to learn together at this ground-breaking national event. This will help to build the solid nucleus of leadership needed to build welcoming, inclusive communities at the parish level. These pastors and parish participants are in addition to any people being sent by their dioceses.
