Re-awaken your vision and mission. Answer the call to a new evangelization.
Our initiatives focus primarily on assisting pastoral leadership, pastoral councils and staffs in assessing and planning future directions for parishes who want to be more mission driven and engage their parishioners into becoming missionary disciples. Consultation initiatives also assist leaders in Catholic ministries who want to re-awaken their vision and mission in light of the call to a new evangelization.
Missionary initiatives are especially designed for parish missions primarily in Lent and the Easter Season. These unique liturgical seasons provide a rich opportunity for pastoral leaders, staffs and communities to reflect on a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through the joy of the Gospels.
Missionary initiatives also include speaking engagements, RCIA retreat days, workshops on various aspects of evangelization for clergy and Lay Ecclesial Ministers.
