On October 14, 2017, Fr. Bob and a delegation from St. Joseph Church joined Bishop Hartmeyer and representatives from other parishes around the diocese at the  Encuentro Diocesano  (Diocesan Encounter) at Sacred Heart Church in Warner Robins, Georgia.  The  Encuentro brought people together to celebrate the Hispanic/Latino presence as joyful missionary disciples in the church and in communities, to reflect together upon the various social, cultural and pastoral realities experienced by Hispanics, and to prayerfully discern solutions to specific needs within the Hispanic community.  One of the highlights of the day was the music, led by a singer from Sacred Heart, who engaged the crowd and had everyone singing along.
