  • In order for the greatest ease in watching these videos during this pandemic,
    we have removed the need for passwords for all ENCOUNTER videos.

  • Watching the Videos

    This resource was created for adults in the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux.  As you may have read on the About page, the intended approach of using of this resource is within small group discussion.  Click Here to learn more about small groups.  

    To view the videos here on our website, click the video images below.  Each video requires a password.  If you're in a small group, your facilitator will have the password.  If you are making use of the videos in another manner other than small groups, please contact your church parish office and let them know your're requesting the password for these videos.  They also have the password.  

    Visit the Faciliator Support Page for considerations for presenting the videos to your small group.
     

  • Technical Help

    If you need assistance in viewing the videos yourself or presenting them to your small group, please contact the Diocesan Office of Parish Support, and we will gladly accompany you in discerning a solution - we'll make it happen:)   You can contact Joe Klapatch at jklapatch@htdiocese.org  |  (985) 850-3155.

     

  • Audio Recordings

    We have included audio-only versions of each of the six sessions for those that might find it helpful, as some may want to listen to them again while driving, exercising, cleaning the house, etc.

    As you may know, there are Scripture passages provided to you to pray with every day following each week's session.  You can find these Scriptures on the Session Guide under each session's video.  Fr. Mark has also recorded a short meditation for each day’s Scripture.  These audio recordings are designed to aid the preparation of your prayer time.  You can find the recordings under the video for each week’s session.  If it's helpful to know, Fr. Mark is reading from the New American Bible (NAB).
     

  • Session Guides

    We have created a 2-page Session Guide for each of the six sessions.  Each guide contains quotes mentioned in the session, suggested small group questions, what to pray with for the next week, and some practical encouragements for your prayer.  You can find these guides under each session's video, as well as on the Facilitator Support page.
