It is everyone's role to evangelise by the witness of our lives, our example, our encouragement.
Very few people come to Christ or to Christ's Church by themselves, Someone brings them.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Are you a person of hope and joy, grateful for all that God gives you?
When did you last invite someone to come to Mass with you?
Or offer to pray with them or for them when they share a need?
Or lend them a book?
or talk with them about the influence of God in your life?
Parishes need to look at their planning - are we hospitable, welcoming to those who do come?
Would they want to come back? Is the liturgy vibrant, lively, inclusive?
The Evangelisation Office offers assistance to groups working in Evangelisation.
The two major processes or programmes in the diocese are the RCIA , or the Catechumenate
and programmes for Returning Catholics.
