Evangelization ministries help individuals and families grow in their relationship with Christ and the Church. Through faith formation, outreach, and engagement, these efforts support parishes as they welcome people at every stage of life and help faith take root in meaningful ways.
What This Ministry Supports
Evangelization focuses on forming disciples, strengthening parish life, and creating opportunities for people to encounter and grow in faith throughout the diocese.
Why It Matters
Strong parishes are built on active faith communities. Evangelization helps ensure our Church continues to teach, welcome, and walk with people as they grow in faith.
