SAINT PAUL STREET EVANGELIZATION: TAKING OUR CATHOLIC FAITH

TO THE STREETS OF LAS CRUCES

Armed with a simple sign, pamphlets, Miraculous Medals and Rosaries, the Las Cruces Evangelists for St. Paul Street Evangelization have mobilized into the streets of Las Cruces! Dedicated to the mandate of Jesus to preach the Gospel to all nations, our Catholic evangelizers work together to bring the Gospel, found fully in the Catholic Church, to a culture that has largely reverted to paganism.

We follow the examples of some VERY special people…

St. Teresa of Calcutta

and

St. Maximillian Kolbe by giving away Rosaries, Miraculous Medals, pamphlets and other information about the Catholic faith; taking time to pray with those who request it. We do this in a non-confrontational way, allowing the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of those who witness our public Catholic presence. Our motto is “to listen, befriend, proclaim the Gospel, and invite a person to conversion, prayer, and community.”

Get more information about this new and exciting apostolate!

Our local St. Paul Street Evangelists will be available on January 11 and 12, 2020, after all the IHM weekend Masses. Let us answer your questions and share information with you. We will also have a Prayer Station available for anyone who would like individual or family prayer.
