“The New Evangelization for the 21st Century”
We will take a look at the development of the concept of Evangelization from the Second Vatican Council to the present. Examine the meaning of Evangelization and discuss why it is everybody’s business. Take a look at what Evangelization has to do with each of us personally, with the mission of our parishes and the mission of the whole Church.
