Faith is meant to be encountered.

Some of the most meaningful moments happen when people come together.

Through Catholic conferences, parish and community events, collaborations, and experiences of our own, we create opportunities for conversation, connection, and encounter.

Come find us, meet us, and experience the mission beyond the screen.

Come see us.

Find us at Catholic conferences, parish gatherings, community events, and other places where faith and people come together.

Here’s where we’re headed next.

    Event Details 

 More than showing up. 

For us, events aren't simply places to set up a table.

Sometimes we join Catholic conferences, parish gatherings, and community events already bringing people together. Other times, we create experiences of our own.

Either way, the purpose is the same: to create opportunities for conversation, connection, community, and encounter.

Past Experiences

Some experiences end when the night is over. Others become part of the story.

From events we've created to places we've gathered with others, these are some of the moments that have brought people together along the way.

  • Dawn Fest Backyard Concert Series 

    A MEK Initiative Experience · Mobile, Alabama

    February 23, 2023

Start a Conversation

 Come and see. 

You don't have to have everything figured out to takethe next step.

Sometimes an encounter begins with a conversation, a gathering, a question, or simply showing up.

Wherever you are in your journey, there's a place for you here.
