Volunteer with Richmond Engaged Encounter
There are several ways in which you can help our Engaged Encounter community and the couples who attend our weekends.
  • Host couple: help to make sure everything is in order on the first evening; handle check-in as the couples arrive; provide directions; assist the presenting team with any last-minute details.
  • Prayer couple: request that a couple be assigned to you, and pray for this couple throughout the weekend.
  • Presenting couple: couples wishing to become presenters are mentored through the writing of their talks; couples give their carefully prepared talks on one or more weekends per year.
Donations
Registration fees cover cost of room accommodations, food, and materials. However, there are other, not-so-obvious expenses. We rely on donor support to sustain Richmond Engaged Encounter needs such as:
  • Financial assistance for couples who could not otherwise attend a weekend.
  • Enrichment activities for the couples and priests who volunteer in this ministry.
  • Travel expenses for presenting teams who may need to fill in on an emergency basis in another state.
  • Financial support for Engaged Encounter internationally, such as in former Soviet countries.
