Encuentros Siloé apostolate takes off in Spain

Encuentros Siloé is establishing a formal association in Spain to reach atheists and agnostics through in-home gatherings. The ministry uses personal testimonies, music, videos, and dialogue to demonstrate the reasonableness of faith. Organizers plan to present the group to the Archdiocese of Madrid soon.

The apostolate grew from the conversion of Javier Huerta and has held more than 25 gatherings over the last three years. Approximately 1,000 people have attended these meetings. While the group does not yet have official ecclesiastical endorsement, several priests provide spiritual guidance to the ministry.

The name Encuentros Siloé refers to the biblical account of Jesus healing a blind man at the Pool of Siloam, symbolizing the transition from physical to spiritual sight.
