Join Fr. Romke for an evening of Adoration, music and meditation on the visions and messages from Jesus and Mary given to Bolivian mystic Catalina Rivas. This teaching on what is actually happening in the spiritual realm during Holy Mass was granted the Imprimatur by Bishop Jose Oscar Brahona of El Salvador in 2004. This testimony was given so that all of us could live the greatest of Miracles, the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, with our hearts. If you have ever thought that you don’t understand the Mass or felt Mass is boring, this evening is for you!

Join us a Fr. Romke leads ENCOUNTER, an hour of prayer that begins with guided meditation rooted in scripture and then flows into a time of worship through song, all in the presence of our Eucharistic Lord in Adoration
