About the Website

21st Century Catholic Evangelization

This website, sponsored by the Evangelization Committee of the National Conference for Catechetical Leadership, is designed to serve Catholic leaders in their ministry of evangelization. We are seeking to provide approaches, strategies, and resources to help parish and diocesan leaders address three audiences for the transmission of the Christian faith: 
  1. to reach out to those who have never heard the gospel proclaimed (initial evangelization)
  2. to re-engage those who are baptized but have lost a living sense of the faith in their daily lives (re-discovering faith)
  3. to engage more intently those who are faithful and need to be renewed with increased catechesis (evangelizing catechesis). (See 2013-2016 USCCB Strategic Plan for the New Evangelization, www.usccb.org/about/ strategic-plan.cfm.)

This is a curated website, which means that we have taken great care to identify and evaluate the best Catholic evangelization practices and resources available. The materials on this website represent a variety of approaches to Catholic evangelization. We do not endorse any particular resource or approach to Catholic evangelization. We do offer you an online resource center from which you can learn more about Catholic evangelization, discover effective practices, and review quality resources, so that you can select the best approaches and resources for your community. 

We have organized the content in the 21st Century Catholic Evangelization Resource Center into six categories. Just click on the menu at the top of each page or the categories below to go where you want. 
  1. Trends - Current research studies and reports on Catholic religiosity and practices
  2. Vision - Contemporary Church teaching on evangelization from the Vatican and the U.S. Catholic Bishops; and articles on Catholic evangelization from theologians and pastoral leaders
  3. Liturgy - Resources describing the connection between liturgy, especially Sunday Mass, and evangelization
  4. Approaches - Resources developed by parishes and dioceses that illustrate a variety of effective effective practices and approaches for Catholic evangelization
  5. Resources - Books, digital media, program resources, organizations, and websites  designed to help parish and dioceses develop Catholic evangelization initiatives and programs
  6. Leaders - Educational resources to learn more about Catholic evangelization and train leaders for evangelization in their communities​​
