Office of Evangelization & Witness

"The primary reason for evangelizing is the love of Jesus which we have received, the experience of salvation which urges us to ever greater love of him. What kind of love would not feel the need to speak of the beloved, to point him out, to make him known?"

- Pope Francis, The Joy of the Gospel, no. 264.

To evangelize is to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world, which is accomplished through both words and actions. All the baptized are called to the mission of evangelization, but the way each of us fulfills that calling will depend on our specific vocation and gifts. While we seek to engage all people in the mission of evangelization, we especially desire to engage our young adults, whom Pope Francis calls on "to contribute your energy, your audacity, and your creativity to changing our world" (Christus Vivit, no. 178).
