Immersion 2022 is one of the most unique Catholic conferences in the world in that we limit capacity to 250 people and we spend a significant part of the conference ministering to others on the streets of Southeast Michigan through a variety of evangelization experiences.

On the first night of the conference, we will celebrate our 10th Anniversary with a keynote address from our founder, Steve Dawson, Mass with Archbishop Allen Vigneron, and a party with music, food, and prizes in the parish hall.

We hope to see you there!

Transformed by Grace

Aiken, SC. We had recently had two encounters with the same woman who came to our table in front of the St. Vincent De Paul food pantry at St. Mary. The first time she came to us, she was in a terrible state as she was disheveled, distraught, and not walking very well. Veronica and I had her sit down and we talked to her for quite a while. She said she’d fallen in a ditch, and we had no reason not to believe her with how she looked. In her desperation, she was crying out to God to take her. From what she shared with us, we could tell she knew the Lord, but her life was in shambles. We prayed with her for her many needs. When she stood up to leave, she was walking much better.

Soft Target

Lancaster, PA. Last Tuesday’s “maiden voyage” at St Francis’ Food Pantry went well. Sally and I set up our (portable) booth right outside of the food distribution area on the porch and were later invited into an inside “weather-protected” area, where we were able to share our faith. We met with a few dozen people who received rosaries, crucifixes, holy medals/cards and children’s religious items (crosses, coloring books, etc.). Some received prayer and encouragement, especially appreciated by those going through difficult times. The Holy Spirit was present in a tangible way. It was an honor serving with the volunteers who come week after week giving food to the needy, and the workers appreciated our presence. Dcn. Miguel was there too. He volunteers at the pantry in various ways, and also will pray with those in the food-receiving line. Knowing Spanish in this area is a definite plus!
