Adult Evangelization
Our Purpose
To support parishes in the evangelization and catechesis of adults.
The Church teaches:
“[T]he catechesis of adults … is the principal form of catechesis, because it is addressed to persons who have the greatest responsibilities and the capacity to live the Christian message in its fully developed form.” (John Paul II, Catechesi Tradendae, no. 43)
The Parish Support team is here to help your adult parishioners to proclaim the Gospel, radiate Christ, and renew your parish.
