“Evangelization must be the first focus of our Church,” Cardinal Seán reminds us (A New Pentecost). When we have encountered the Lord, grown in our relationship with Him, and realized who He is, we can’t help but share the Good News with those we know and meet.
Jesus sends us forth as His disciples to testify to our faith and to introduce others to Him by creating moments of encounter. We are called to do this individually and communally as a parish.
The Institute for the New Evangelization (TINE) exists to help equip Catholics who want to embrace the missionary nature of the Christian life with certificate classes in Catholic Theology (in English and Spanish) and Evangelization, workshops, and multiple speaker series.
The Archdiocese of Boston is constantly creating new materials to help individuals and parishes grow in their ability to evangelize. Evangelize Boston offers materials designed to help form you for mission.
Think back to how you came to know Jesus – did someone help you along the way? Be that person for someone else. Help them come to know the joy you now know.
