Evangelization Matters!

In a practical five-step process called: See, Judge, Act, Evaluate and Celebrate,  parishes can realize Jesus’ gospel mission to serve immediate needs and alter unjust social conditions.

In The Joy of the Gospel (Evangelii Gaudium), Pope Francis humorously asserts that both the laity and the clergy have been known to suffer from homilies, one from the listening and one from the preaching! In contrast, he maintains that good preaching “can actually be an intense and happy experience of the Spirit, a consoling encounter with God’s word, a constant source of renewal and growth” (EG, 135).
