"The moment has come to commit all of the Church's energies to a New Evangelization."
~ St. John Paul II WHAT IS THE NEW EVANGELIZATION? (Click Here)
The Mission of Jesus Christ, handed down through His Apostles,
is the Mission of All the Faithful. What is our Message?"Jesus Christ loves you; he gave his life to save you; and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen and free you." (Pope Francis)

What must EVERYONE come to understand?“Are we not perhaps all afraid in some way? If we let Christ enter fully into our lives, if we open ourselves totally to him, are we not afraid that He might take something away from us? Are we not perhaps afraid to give up something significant, something unique, something that makes life so beautiful? Do we not then risk ending up diminished and deprived of our freedom? . . . No! If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide. Only in this friendship is the great potential of human existence truly revealed. Only in this friendship do we experience beauty and liberation. And so, today, with great strength and great conviction, on the basis of long personal experience of life, I say to you, dear young people:
Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away, and he gives you everything. When we give ourselves to him, we receive a hundredfold in return. Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ – and you will find true life!” (Pope Benedict XVI) |

Watch as parish evangelist, Seth Evangelho, presents on the mission of the laity and the Church's call for a New Evangelization... |
"A central position in the new evangelization must be given to the parish, community of communities, not simply as a place for religious services but as a gathering place for families, Bible groups and renewed lay involvement, where a true sense of the Church is experienced through a most authentically lived celebration of the sacraments and their meaning."
