Being Instruments of Providence
SPSE’s National Director, Steve Dawson, joined the San Diego team as they evangelized this week on the Ocean Beach Municipal Pier. According to Steve, in the short time the team was out, they “talked with dozens — if not hundreds — of people and had lots of fun” doing...

Evangelization in a Strange World

A Message from our Program Director, Adam Janke
The past two years I have been honored to witness thousands of ordinary Catholics engaged in the extraordinary work of evangelization through St. Paul Street Evangelization. Through its small beginnings on a board walk in Portland, Oregon to an international...
