Evangelization Commission

We are called to "go and make disciples teaching all nations in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit." What this means is simply passing on the Good News of Jesus Christ. The Evangelization Commission determines ways in which we as parish members and as a whole parish can make a difference in our world. The Evangelization Commission oversees Welcome Sunday, new parishioner registration, hospitality, Weekend Coffees after all the Masses and inter-faith outreach efforts. The Evangelization Commission has sponsored such programs as "Why Catholic?" and "Catholics Come Home".
