CELEBRATION TO MISSION
“Spirit-filled evangelizers means evangelizers fearlessly open to the working of the Holy Spirit... Let us call upon him today, firmly rooted in prayer, for without prayer all our activity risks being fruitless and our message empty. Jesus wants evangelizers who proclaim the good news not only with words, but above all by a life trans gured by God’s presence.”
Evangelii Gaudium, no 259

The Encuentro concludes with the final blessing of the Sunday Closing Mass. Luggage that was left in Hall C may be picked up until 4:00 p.m. The USCCB thanks you for your active engagement in the 2018 National Encuentro Gathering.
