Summertime is a time for sojourning...taking life a little slower...stopping to savor the sights, sounds and smells of summer...a time to reflect on our life's journey from and to God...also, a time to reflect on your parish programs and processes for evangelization. To help, here are some new articles and offerings from the Office of Evangelization:

How to Guide for Festival Evangelizing
New Resource:  The Journey DVD's
Event: The Canonization of Teresa of Calcutta
Testimonial Opportunity
ALPHA Training and Webinar

I pray that your summer allows time for you to stop and reflect all God has offered to you.

With joy and peace,

How to Guide:  
Festival Evangelizing

t's summertime and from the inner city, to the suburban parishes and all the way into the countryside, it's  FESTIVAL TIME !  

This includes community square events, parish carnivals, county fairs and more...  

You don't want to miss this opportunity to evangelize with those in the community; to build trusting relationships, answer questions of the curious about faith in Jesus Christ and deepen the faith of those who stop by.  

To aid in building relationships, here are some effective practices shared by some parish communities around the Diocese of Cleveland:


New Resource:
The Journey 
from
Paulist Evangelization Ministries

The Journey/El Camino is a new parish resource to help your parishioners experience Jesus Christ more personally and deeply.  Prayer, video, scripture and sharing all provide a powerful way to help strengthen faith today.  Available in English and Spanish.  Interested in providing this new DVD program for your parish?
