Meet our partner and facilitators
Sarah Kaczmarek
Sarah serves as an instructor and online facilitator with Encounter Ministries. She holds an MA in Counselling and has served in ministry for over 20 years. Prior to her time at Encounter, she served in a parish as Director of Evangelization and Youth Ministry, as well as Associate Director of Alpha Catholic. Her deepest desire is for everyone to know the love of the Father and to walk in the holiness and wholeness that Jesus paid for.
Fr. Patrick Gonyeau, C.PP.S.
Fr. Patrick is a priest on fire with the love of God from the Archdiocese of Detroit and currently lives and serves with the U.S. Province of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood in Ohio. His deepest passion in life is union with the Blessed Trinity.
After several years of priesthood, he experienced a breakthrough surge of stunning healings in ministry that changed his life, convincing him that Jesus loves to give His disciples power to share the Gospel and power to heal (Mark 16:18). He carries an infectious joy, inspiring faith, a passion for healing, and a unique grace to equip and activate believers into an ever-deepening lifestyle of Holy Spirit–driven intimacy, mission, and miracles in everyday life.
Encounter School of Ministry
Encounter School of Ministry was designed and established from the heart of Encounter, drawing from the richness of our Catholic heritage. Its mission is to teach, equip, and activate disciples to reveal the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their daily lives and ministries.
In full conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, the school offers a dynamic two-year training programme that empowers believers to step confidently into the supernatural life Jesus calls us to and to take their ministry to the next level. To date, 345 priests have graduated from the two-year school.
