During another outing not too long after, Father Ignatius and Steve went evangelizing while shopping. They are preparing materials to help teach people how to evangelize in the circumstances of their daily lives. Spending a couple hours going from business to business as they were shopping, they visited a grocery store, hardware store, post office, shipping company, and a couple other places. In each location, they picked a few people to evangelize while they were in the store shopping, and while in the parking lots. This is done in such a way as to not cause a scene. They didn’t set up a sign or put out materials, they just approached and talked to people, offering them miraculous medals, and went from there.
In several conversations, people were definitely interested. One lady said she was considering joining the church, but hadn’t thought of it in a while. They encouraged her, gave their contact info, and she said she wanted to join RCIA. Fr. Ignatius talked to a man in the parking lot for about a half hour about the Church being founded by Jesus Christ, and the man took a book and other materials. In all, they spoke to about 20 – 30 people in about 2 hours. We pray that great fruit will come from it.

Praised be Jesus Christ! We’re always looking to improve our methods and expand our reach. After all, the Lord asks us to preach the word to all. Will you join us, and help us with this task?
