Evangelization constitutes the essential mission of the Church. It is proclaiming the person and message of Jesus Christ to all the world. In essence, it means bring the Good News to every human situation and transforming individuals and society through gospel values. Evangelization is not a program but is an integral part of all we do as church. It touches every aspect of parish life. It is the energizing core of all ministry. By baptism, we enter into a life of discipleship, continuing the Incarnation of Jesus by word and deed (proclamation and witness). Evangelization is the responsibility of every baptized Catholic. Jesus said, "I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly." It is this fullness of life to which we invite each active member and to which we invite the inactive, alienated and unchurched to join us at the Lord's table. It is about inviting persons into a relationship in Jesus Christ, not about proselytizing. The Office of Evangelization is here to assist parishes in their evangelization efforts through education, consultation, and training in response to particular needs.
