The Church is missionary by her very nature. Her mission is to proclaim the Good News and the salvation of Christ to all people in all places. All of the baptized are part of this mission.
Evangelization is the Church's deepest identity. Evangelization brings the good news of the Gospel to all who seek the life-giving message of Jesus Christ. Catechesis nourishes, forms and deepens the faith one receives through the ministry of the Church. However, it is not just a "class." It is formation in the life of discipleship.
Evangelization and catechesis go hand-in-hand. Evangelization without catechesis, or without a catechetical framework, would be empty and without context. And catechesis without evangelization is void of the purpose of catechesis which is always to bring about an initial conversion, or a deeper relationship, with Jesus.
By virtue of our baptism, all are called to live our faith and to bear witness to the Gospel by our lives to our families, friends, parish communities and society at large. To share in the Church's mission of Evangelization and Catechesis is to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
All are invited to visit the various pages of our website to look for opportunities to grow in your relationship with Christ and with each other as well as to grow in knowledge of our Catholic faith. Then, "Go tell the others" and invite them to join us.
