New York Encounter is an annual three-day cultural event in the heart of New York City, offering opportunities for education, dialogue, and friendship.
Entering its 14th year, with the theme "Who Am I That You Care for Me?" the lay ecclesiastical gathering aims to discover, affirm, and offer to everyone truly human expressions of the desire for truth, beauty, and justice.
The Encounter features cultural performances including poetry, music, and a conversation in memory of Pope Benedict XVI with Steven Brown, Dean of Graduate Studies at The Catholic University of America; Cardinal Seán O'Malley, Archbishop of Boston; Most Rev. Steven J. Raica, Bishop of Birmingham; and Fr. Alex Zenthoefer, rector of St. Benedict Cathedral in Evansville, Indiana. Music will be played by Christopher Vath, pianist.
