Resources for parishes and individuals

Catholic Evangelization:
What is it?

There is no true evangelization if the name,
the teaching, the life, the promises, the Kingdom, and the mystery of Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God are not proclaimed.” – Pope St. Paul VI

OFE and Parish Partnership:
Do not be afraid!


Do not fear: I am with you;
do not be anxious: I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will help you.
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. – Isaiah 41:10

Is it I, Lord:
How do we Evangelize?

But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
God answered: I will be with you; and this will be your sign that I have sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will serve God at this mountain. – Exodus 3:11-12
