The encounter will feature two speakers: Franciscan Friar of the Renewal Father Luke Fletcher from the Blue Army Shrine, Asbury, and Deacon Sal Bonfiglio, Order of St. Francis, who ministers in Mary, Mother of God. It will include Mass, exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Reconciliation, Stations of the Cross and light refreshments. There is no admission fee, but there will be a free will offering.
