Encounter
An encounter with Jesus is a moment in our lives that has such impact it causes us to change how we live.  Once we have encountered Christ, from that point forward we are all in or all out...(UTG, marker 9.1)
We cannot follow someone we have not met, and we cannot give our lives to someone we don't love.
​Encounter is an experience directed at the heart.


UTG- Unleash The Gospel
​Archbishop Allen Vignereon

Grow
To follow Jesus is to be in a constant process of growth, like the seed that fell on the rich soil. We seek to be more like Jesus, to treat others as he did, to pray as he prays, to love as he loves and to honor God in every area of our lives, including marriage, family life, finances, work and leisure activities....(UTG, marker 9.2)
Growth is a time of spiritual nourishment through the ministries of the Parish Family

Witness
​In his Great Commission, Jesus did not direct his disciples to stay inside and simply welcome those who show up at the Church's door, but to go out; "Go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:20)...Every individual in the Archdiocese, especially lay people, are called to consider how the Lord may be calling us to go out, beyond where we may have gone before-even to the most unlikely places-to share the good news of Jesus with those who may never have heard of it. (UTG, marker 6.1)
​Witness is to recognize the mission or purpose God has for our life.

Pop up Missions are events that happen on a as needed basis.  These Missions are Fundraising Events, Giving Tree Committees, Hospitality opportunities, cemetery clean ups and other items that appear at random times.
