Evangelization
Board Mission
The
Evangelization Board exists to provide vision and direction for
those parish ministries directed toward evangelization of the
faithful, inactive Catholics and the unchurched.
Goals
Board
goals are taken directly from "Go and Make Disciples: A
National Plan and Strategy for Catholic Evangelization in the United
States".
-
Bring
about in all Catholics such an enthusiasm for their faith that,
in living their faith in Jesus, they freely share it with
others.
-
Invite
all the people within the boundaries of our parish, whatever
their social or cultural background, to hear the message of
salvation in Jesus Christ so that they may come to join us in
the fullness of the Catholic faith.
-
Foster
Gospel values in our society, promoting the dignity of the human
person, the importance of the family, and the common good of our
society, so that our nation may continue to be transformed by
the saving power of Jesus Christ.

Has Commissioned You To Evangelize?
The

Commission

therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded
you.

28:19-20)
