This parish guide, developed for Encuentro 2000, is an essential tool for promoting multicultural dialogue among parish members, to help everyone grow together in unity—and come to a deeper understanding of the Church’s mission. The guide is divided into six three-hour sessions, providing an easy-to-follow framework for sharing experiences, reflecting on faith traditions, discussing ways of putting faith into action and celebrating the Catholic faith as one Church.

This colorful and inspiring video leads viewers on a journey of discovery to the many hidden riches present within our culturally diverse communities. In on-camera interviews, parish, diocesan, and national leaders share their insights on how to bring unity out of diversity, rejoicing in our different languages and cultures yet proclaiming the same faith and one reign of God. Ideal for use by parishes and dioceses to open dialogues and train leaders in multicultural ministry.
