The Christian faith is an event—an encounter with a Presence: Jesus Christ. As Christ came to bring abundant life to all who know Him, we seek to share what we have received through life in the Church.

Encounter Tampa Bay aims to witness to this new life in a way that, as Pope Benedict XVI proposed, transforms “the intelligence of faith” into “the intelligence of reality.”

Join us for a panel discussion on Cry of the Heart by Msgr. Lorenzo Albacete. The discussion is moderated by H.E. Christophe Cardinal Pierre, and hosted by Most Rev. Gregory L. Parkes.

This public, free event is an opportunity for dialogue, friendship, and fellowship with our neighbors and all people.
