Founded by Father Luigi Giussani in Milan during the 1960s, the Communion and Liberation movement within the Catholic Church has evolved into a thriving force, influencing discussions on faith and reality.
Father Giussani’s vision aimed at bridging the gap for baptized Catholic students who showed little interest in their faith, introducing a method of thinking that recognizes God’s presence in everyday experiences.
New York Encounter: A Growing Gathering
The New York Encounter, a manifestation of the Communion and Liberation movement, has witnessed significant growth in attendance since its inception.
From 5,554 attendees in 2015 to a remarkable 15,500 in 2023, the event draws inspiration from a similar gathering in Rimini, Italy, attended by over 800,000.
The unique aspect of the New York Encounter lies in its inclusivity, attracting individuals from various backgrounds, ages, and beliefs.
Diverse Audience and Topics
One of the distinctive features of the New York Encounter is its diverse audience. Attendees span all age groups, from infants in strollers to older individuals, representing various religious beliefs and non-believers.
The event’s inclusive nature stems from its exploration of topics ranging from politics and the arts to literature and science, appealing to a broad spectrum of interests.
Prominent Figures and Catholic Church Leaders
Notable figures, scholars, and artists contribute to the New York Encounter, alongside prominent leaders of the Catholic Church.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, will lead Mass, joined by other high-ranking church officials, including Cardinal Seán O’Malley, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, and Bishop Earl K. Fernandes.
Highlighted Panels and Exhibits
The event’s schedule includes panels on current events, providing a platform for discussions on artificial intelligence, the Israel-Hamas conflict, Pope Francis’ Fratelli Tutti encyclical, the challenges faced by Christians in the Holy Land, and an exploration of the Supreme Court and its future.
Additionally, arts and language are celebrated through creative offerings by poets and classical pianists.
