ON EVANGELIZATION


FOR PARISH RENEWAL and


PARISH OUTREACH PROGRAM


The main purpose of the Evangelization Committee is:

  1. To help the parishioners and staff understand, and act upon the truth that the parish community "exists in order to evangelize," and that all of its activities should be directed towards this end.

  2. To help the parishioners and staff create the environments, structures,and programs which will serve to make ours an evangelizing parish particularly those programs which provide for:

    1. Outreach into the community with the Gospel message.
    2. The follow-up necessitated by that outreach.
    3. The means for people either to return to the Christian community or take the initial steps into becoming a member of the Christian Community
    4. Establish a welcoming program for new parishioners.
    5. Establish a bereavement committee for home visits.
    6. Continue our program for bringing the Eucharist to the sick and homebound on Sunday.
    7. Get names of parishioners who have left the church; try to renew their desire to return.
