Sharing your Faith: Evangelization

The Mission of Evangelization:

To Know Jesus Christ Better

Evangelization comes from a Greek word that means "to share the good news". This is Good News specifically about Jesus Christ. This is something that every Christian is called to do.

In recent times John Paul II and Benedict XVI have called the entire Church to join the efforts of the New Evangelization. Will you answer the call?
