Holy Apostles Partners with Encounter School of Ministry to Advance Evangelical Mission
Dear Holy Apostles Community,
With great joy, I announce a new partnership between Holy Apostles College & Seminary and the Encounter School of Ministry. Through this collaboration, we will accept graduate and undergraduate transfer credits from Encounter, further advancing our shared mission of forming faithful disciples and leaders for the New Evangelization.
We are especially honored to work alongside Encounter’s Founder and President, Fr. Mathias Thelen, whose vision has guided Encounter’s transformative impact, and Executive Director Patrick Reis (MA Philosophy, ’14), a proud Holy Apostles alumnus. Their leadership has inspired countless students to embrace their faith with zeal while pursuing intellectual and spiritual formation.
This partnership underscores our mutual commitment to academic excellence and spiritual growth. Encounter students will now have accredited degree pathways to deepen their theological and philosophical education, equipping them to boldly proclaim the Gospel in today’s world.
May this collaboration bear abundant fruit for the Church and inspire a new generation of evangelists dedicated to Christ’s mission.
In Christ,
Rev. Peter Kucer, MSA
President Rector
