Catholic Life and Faith
The role of the parish in engaging and evangelizing people as disciples
and stewards cannot be underestimated. In this FREE seminar, you will:
• Explore the religious landscape in the Western world, particularly
in the United States
• Learn what people, especially younger adults seek in their lives and
from us as members of Christ’s Body
• Focus on three essential bridges that people and parishes can build,
reaching out to those within the parish and beyond it, and drawing
them in, to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ
We will do all of this in the context of what it means to be a disciple and to grow
as a good steward, and what this may mean for our communities of faith.
