By Christine Slowinski, Director of Evangelization & Stewardship
I don’t know where I first heard it, but this statement
has stayed with and influenced me: Either you are moving

This fall, there are mul#ple ways for you to go deeper

There is an accompanying book, Encounter Christ, wri$en
by staff from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee which
