What is an “encuentro” and what is “Encuentro 2000” ?
Encuentro is a deliberate attempt to bring people together with the intention of building up the Body of Christ. It involves sharing their lived experience, understanding those experiences in light of Gospel values, and taking action to advance the common good. Leaders seek new perspectives, experience community building, and acquire a deeper understanding of their own faith and Catholic teaching. Encuentro 2000 builds on the previous encuentros of the Hispanic community and expands the experience to include Catholics of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
