Office for the New Evangelization

"To Evangelize means to bring others to God."

(Bishop David A. Zubik, The Church Alive!, no 83) 

The Office for the New Evangelization supports the apostolic ministry of the Diocesan Bishop by focusing its efforts to three groups of people to whom evangelization efforts ought to first be addressed: (a) those who have left the Church; (b) those who have no or little religious upbringing called the unchurched; and (c) the churched, those who practice their faith and need to be sustained (Cf., The Church Alive!, no 85).  

The office does so by employing a strategy focused on the clergy, lay ministers and faithful that moves them through a process of encounter with Jesus Christ; through discipleship to mission, sent as disciples to invite all to (re)consider the Catholic Faith.
