What does it mean to evangelize, and how do we engage our parishioners, leading them to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others? These are questions that are at the heart of our ANO Office of Evangelization’s one hour and thirty minute presentation for parish clergy and parish leaders (Pastoral Council, heads of ministries, schools, etc.), to be introduced through the ANO Synod Priorities and Goals to the very mission and meaning of Catholic Christian discipleship. We believe that faith shared is faith strengthened! The challenges of our culture point out that now is an evangelizing moment; now is the time for Catholic Christians to proclaim the Lord Jesus with renewed conviction and fervor. The interactive content of this prayer-filled presentation will look at local and national data and will introduce participants to the latest authors and writings on the topic of evangelization as well as the best practices of parishes and diocese around the US that are showing success in their efforts to make “Missionary Disciples”, as Pope Francis called all the Baptized. The task of Evangelization belongs to everyone. This presentation begins a conversation and serves as a great way to encourage parishioners to become comfortable with evangelization in their daily lives, and to help parish leaders to identify the elements of parish life that may be enhanced or adjusted in order to maximize evangelizing potential. At the conclusion of this presentation a copy of The Evangelization & Organizational Inventory, created from various offices within the Archdiocese of New Orleans, will be given to the pastor to assist him and others, to discern the parishes’ further Evangelization resourcing needs.
