Have you wondered what it’s like to encounter the living Christ? Have you longed to hear Him speak to your heart?  Once a month, St. Francis-St. Maximilian will host an amazing opportunity for all to Encounter Christ. There are many opportunities to stir your soul: the power of uplifting praise and worship music, adoration, silence, benediction, compelling testimonies, prayer partners,  confession and fellowship. The Holy Spirit has a way of stirring people in many beautiful ways.
