Mass: The Highest Form of Prayer
“It was exciting to see so many come to the Encounter event to learn more about prayer. It was our largest Encounter turn-out to date. It reaffirms the truth that, even those of us who know and love Jesus Christ, are thirsting for more. Archbishop Hebda thoroughly enjoyed the evening! Check out all the follow-up sessions and resources to continue to forge forward in your personal relationship with Christ.” Fr. Eilen

Learn about the highest form of prayer and the pinnacle of our Catholic faith. The Catholic Mass is much more than a Sunday obligation, it is where we celebrate the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you attend Mass every Sunday or haven’t been in a while, this talk will inspire you. “If we really understood the Mass, we would die of joy.” – St. Jean Vianney
