Every baptized Catholic has received a call to be a part of the New Evangelization. However, as Archbishop Allen Vigneron of Detroit pointed out in his pastoral letter Unleash the Gospel, “Since evangelizing does not come naturally for most people, being effective evangelizers also usually requires the development of some practical skills.”

Our weekly School of Evangelization is designed to help ordinary Catholics become extraordinary evangelists in their own communities. Our virtual school meets once a week in the evening and includes time for teaching, discussion, small groups, activities, and prayer.

In the virtual school, we will:

▪ Equip and empower ordinary Catholics to live out their extraordinary call as missionary disciples.
▪ Use the best methods, insights, and strategies of effective evangelization.
▪ Teach students how to authentically proclaim the Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ.
▪ Help students discern charisms that the Lord performs through us as signs of the Kingdom of God.
▪ Foster student growth through a specialized ministry team that accompanies each participant every step of the way.
▪ Lead students to apply knowledge and gain confidence through small group learning, real-world experience, and best practices!

My New Friend

Stevens Point, WI. Betti and I were evangelizing on my UWSP campus right before school started in the fall of 2021. This was how I met my best friend Wyatt, who at the time was Eastern Orthodox. I introduced him to the Rosary and we began talking a lot and quickly became best friends. Eventually, through conversation and much prayer, he decided to become Eastern Catholic (Byzantine). Praise be to God! It is so amazing to think that Jesus could be using my tiny ministry to save even one soul.

God Saves

Lower Bucks County, PA. Dcn. Mark and Nancy went downtown to evangelize at Suburban Station in center city Philadelphia. The team quickly met a young man who was staggering around near their prayer station. He was very thin, shaky, and confused, but did respond when asked if he would like a blessed medal and perhaps to pray. The man said his name was Joshua. To this we exclaimed that he was named after Jesus. Joshua was perplexed and then repeated, what do you mean, my name isn’t Jesus! We told him that Joshua comes from Yeshua, which is the same name as Jesus, from Hebrew/Aramaic. We told him that his name meant Jesus, which means “God Saves”. He allowed us to place a crucifix on his neck and to say a short prayer with him. Joshua came back a few times, asking again, are you serious, does my name Joshua really come from Jesus’ name? Our team assured him we were telling him the truth and that we would be praying to his namesake for his healing. Jesus, please heal Joshua spiritually, physically, and mentally!
