We'll explore how to share your encounter with Jesus today in this ever evolving Digital Culture that allows us to create and craft our message in ways never previously imagined.

What is Evangelization?
Pope Paul VI in Evangelii Nuntiandi
“evangelization is in fact the face and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists to evangelize
USCCB : Go and Make Disciples

What is Evangelization?
Bringing the Good News of Jesus into every human situation and seeking to convert individuals and society by divine power of the Gospel itself.
Goals for Evangelization - USCCB
• To bring about in all Catholics such an enthusiasm for their faith that, in living their faith in Jesus they freely share it with others
• To invite all people in the US whatever the social or cultural background to hear the message of salvation in Jesus Christ so that they may come to join us in the fullness of the Catholic faith
• To in our society promoting the dignity and the common good of our society, so that our nation may continue to be transformed by the saving power of Jesus
Goals for Evangelization
• Steeped in Prayer
• Focus on everyday life
• Evangelize Church goers with a deeper faith
What is Good News?
Loving God that is intimately involved with us
Intermediary is Jesus
Salvation through Jesus’ sacrifice
God is with us still (Jesuit Spirituality – Finding God in all things!)
Good News of Evangelization
Evangelization is the deepest part of our CATHOLIC IDENTITY:
•ENFLAME those who are already connected to Christ
•INVITE others to join us – in doing so
•TRANSFORM the world
Ask yourself: As you reflect and ponder on the recent documents, what do they mean for you?
To be one who evangelizes it is important that:
• I take the time to deepen my faith • The Gospel is an important part of
my life • I am moved to share this Good News
with others

Is there a Digital Culture?
And it is NOT going away!
Promoted new media evangelization
Pope John Paul I: “Do not be afraid of new technologies!” These rank ‘among the marvelous things’ – inter mirifica – which God has placed at our disposal to discover, to use, and to make known the truth about our dignity and about our destiny as his children, heirs of the Eternal Kingdom. (The Rapid Development, Apostolic Letter on Media and Communication, #14).

As we tell our story. . .
Put simply: to our modern
world, the most
compelling evidence for
God is a life well-lived by
those who claim God.
