| Welcome |
Dear Friends, As members of the family of God, Pope Benedict XVI calls us to a “renewed commitment of the Church to the proclamation and testimony of the Gospel, of hope and charity, to all corners of the world.” In his encyclical “Deus Caritas Est”, he challenges us to proclaim the Gospel message in three ways to: 1) Proclaim the Word 2) Celebrate the Sacraments 3) Do works of charity The way to grow in the faith is to proclaim, to teach and to share our faith with our brothers and sisters. We joyfully celebrate our faith by actively participating in the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. We witness our Catholic faith with works of charity by reaching out to all those who need our help through the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. Through collaboration with the National Office of Evangelization, other Diocesan Offices and our parishes, the Office of Evangelization strives with great ardor to find creative methods to teach the Word of God and to help people be aware of their experiences of God’s love in their life and to express this to others.
