I had no hesitation in purchasing subscriptions for our schools in the Diocese of Bathurst, Australia. Our staff and students thoroughly enjoy using Encounter to enhance their experience of teaching and learning about the Catholic faith but also for their own spiritual formation as well.
Dr Angelo Belmonte
Head Of Religious Education & Faith Formation, Diocese Of BathurstI was raised Catholic to some degree, went to a Catholic Primary school and a Catholic High school and I have been teaching in a Catholic primary school for about 18 years and have been the Religious Education Leader for at least 5 years. However, I have never learnt so much as I have since I have been listening to the FRG podcasts and doing these courses. Not only am I learning more about the Catholic traditions but I am learning about myself and my own faith journey. I only hope I can bring this learning to the staff at my school and ultimately to the students.

Thank you to the team at FRG Ministry for your valuable insights and personal reflections about Mary. You have re-energised in me the thirst to get to know Mary in a more profound way and to openly and honestly allow her to be beside me in my faith journey. Your presentations have been welcoming, engaging, inspiring, cheerful and hopeful in a world which is in need of this approach at the moment. Thank you and God bless each one of you.

On Knowing MaryThank you Fr. Rob and FRG Ministry. I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. I have learnt so much about prayer. It has opened my eyes to the various methods of praying and drawing closer to God. It's about building a closer and a stronger relationship with God. I am so inspired and committed to keep making prayer a part of my daily life, no matter what happens each day.

on School Of PrayerThis course is fantastic and well prepared. I've been a Catholic for years, but I still learnt many new things about the Mass in this course. Very informative and presented in such an attractive way. After finishing this course, surely we won't leave the Mass ever the same again.

on The MassThank you all for a spiritual and academic journey of learning what the Holy Bible is all about. As a Catholic, I never have had such an indent look and understanding of Scripture. As we age, we seek to want more and are thirsty for the knowledge present in as you say 'the most read book in the world.' Continue to spread the knowledge needed to defend and protect our Catholic faith and spread the love of God.
