Being the Light of Faith - Lumen Fidei and the New Evangelization
Donald McCrabb (Catholic Apostolate Center) Pope Francis' first encyclical is a shining example of the New Evangelization in action. It re-proposes what it means to be Catholic today and how Catholics are to be in the world - as witness, as leaven, and as servant. The webinar explores the basic themes of Lumen Fidei and what they means for young adults in the Church today.

Creating Vibrant Evangelizing Parishes Fr. Frank DeSiano and Fr. Kenneth Boyack This 2013 webinar focuses on the parish through the lens of the Synod on the New Evangelizatio and highlights key strategies that the Synod proposed to enable parishioners to encounter Christ more deeply and witness to their faith. Equipping Catechetical Leaders to Deliver Evangelizing Faith Formation Tom Quinlan (Diocese of Joliet) This webinar is designed to help leaders explore important aspects of catechetical ministry through the lens of evangelization. The three topics considered are: Helping Catechists Take on the Mind, Heart and Function of Evangelizers; Sacrament Preparation as Key Evangelizing Opportunity - Starting with Baptism! and Evangelizing Families Today: Engaging Parents As Partners in Faith Formation. Tom provides both vision and practical suggestions in each segment for how to build ministry that is transformative. Engaging Young Adults in the New Evangelization Mark Berchem (NET Ministries) This webinar explores one of the greatest challenges for the Church today: how to engage our young adult population in the Church's mission of evangelization. How can we, as a Church, tap into the young adult population and invite them to take their place in the New Evangelization? In this dynamic three-part presentation, drawing from his experience with NET Ministries, Mark details six characteristics that should be present in an apostolate to enhance its attractiveness to young adults as well as five prerequisites that serve as good framework for designing formative training programs to prepare young adults for evangelistic service. Evangelization & Year of Faith Paulist Evangelization Ministries Paulist Evangelization Ministries has created a series of webinars celebrating The Year of Faith focusing on the ways Catholics can share their faith more vibrantly and reach out to seekers and those disconnected from the faith. Resources that can assist Catholics in becoming more committed evangelizers are also showcased. The New Evangelization Series United States Catholic Conference The New Evangelization is a series of webinars focusing on different aspects of the "New Evangelization." The webinar topics and presenters were approved by the Bishops Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis and the Bishop Chair of the Bishops Committee on Catholic Education.
The New Evangelization: Why Bother? (Three Parts) Dr. Ralph Martin There is a lot of talk in the Church today about the "new evangelization." But what exactly is it? And why, really, should we engage in it? There are many reasons given for its importance but one of the most important is rarely mentioned: many peoples' eternal salvation is at stake. In the climate of a vague "universalism" which presumes that virtually everybody will be saved, what does Vatican II really teach about this most important reality? Pope Francis on Faith & Evangelization Jared Dees (Ave Maria Press Webinar, 2014) In the first year of his papacy, Pope Francis gave us two incredible documents to read, study, and apply to our daily lives. Lumen Fidei (The Light of Faith) offers an overview and reflection on the meaning of faith and how it is important in the life of the Church and in the lives of individual Christians. Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel) is a call to arms for the Christian faithful to step out of their comfort zones and become missionary disciples and spirit-filled evangelizers. The webinar is divided into two parts: First, Jared will summarize and elaborate on the key points of both documents in a short overview that could easily be shared or adapted for parish presentations of these documents. In the second part of the webinar, Jared will point out specific ways parish ministers can apply these documents to the way they carry out their work as pastors, DREs, catechists, teachers, faith formation leaders, retreat leaders, and parents. |
