SPSE evangelists come from all walks of life and from every occupation. For some, their desire to answer the call to evangelize is not limited to formal outings with an SPSE team on the street. For example, we recently received a report from one of our evangelists who...
Louie X 2
Sometimes SPSE teams have non-stop visitors and so evangelists trust the Lord that their short, 2-minute encounters change hearts. But, sometimes, the Lord sends so few visitors that an entire team can take part in an extended conversation. That happened recently in...

SPSE teams go where people gather — for instance, the Saturday farmer’s market in Lincoln, NE. Visibly Catholic, with sign and offer of free Rosary, Lincoln’s SPSE evangelists easily engage many in friendly conversations about the Faith. Here are some recent...
UK Team Grateful for “Invisible Support”
