Helping the Catholic Church Reach the Unreached in Faith
Paulist Evangelization Ministries Powered by the Paulist Fathers
2013
Dear Parish Leaders, I am happy to send you this catalogue of handy resources to help you do what God has asked all of us to do—reach out to those who are not connected with a faith family. We have two major incentives to emphasize this basic duty we have to share faith with those who are seeking. The Year of Faith began October, 2012 and continues through November, 2013—a year when our Holy Father, Pope Benedict, has underlined for us. He calls us to proclaim, celebrate, and live our faith—and we cannot live that faith without committing ourselves to share faith. The second is the Synod on the New Evangelization which was held in October, 2012. Three hundred bishops from all over the world gathered to talk about a renewed deepening of faith in Catholics, a more powerful engagement with a contemporary world which often overlooks faith, and a more powerful sharing of faith with others. You will find many resources to respond to these two key events in our Catholic lives. Living the Eucharist, has received tremendous praise from the hundreds of parishes who have used it—building faith and discipleship around our experience of the Eucharist. Awakening Faith continues to be a powerful resource to reach Catholics who do not practice their faith. Hundreds of parishes have intensified the welcome of inquirers by using Seeking Christ. In addition, Catholics across the country are learning about Catholic evangelization from our Paulist Comprehensive Evangelization Training course, as well as our evangelization Jump Start Kit for the parish. We are also excited to introduce this year a powerful resource for every parish to concretely reach out to others. Called Neighbors Reaching Neighbors, this resource pack will fill our imaginations with many practical ideas, and provide tools to equip your parishioners to reach out to others. We’ve worked over a year to get this parish invitation tool kit ready. I hope you will appreciate its potential to reach those many people who are do not connect with a church or parish today. Many of them are waiting for an invitation! May I ask you to pray that these events will increase the apostolic drive and confidence in our Catholic communities, so that we may respond more completely to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through the leaders of our Catholic Church. Sincerely in Christ,
Frank DeSiano, CSP President

Reaching Seekers & Inquirers
Seeking Christ First Steps toward Catholic Faith A new program to expand our capacity to welcome and engage inquires into the Catholic faith at any time of the year. Eight powerful sessions can become tools to interest people today in what the Catholic faith has to offer. Through the eight sessions, used flexibly and as needed, inquirers come to appreciate basic facets of Catholicism. Each session has a five to six minute DVD meditation, a selected passage from Scripture with discussion questions, and a take-home reflection for inquirers to refine their questions. This program will be particularly important for parishes that do not have year-round R.C.I.A., and therefore often have to tell inquirers to wait until the catechumenate begins. It also permits a parish to think about inviting people all year round to think about conversion to Jesus in our Catholic community.

Watch for this
important new resource to help parishes reach out to those who are not involved in church, or have no faith community. How can parishes meet, share with, invite, and welcome potential new members? What practical resources do we have?
Neighbors Reaching Neighbors
addresses this important need with a wealth of resources to help parishes imagine and execute ways to reach out to others. From invitations, to business cards, to brochures, to little booklets, to DVD resources, now parishes do not have to invent the wheel. They can adapt and use these resources.

Let’s Call Our Catholics to Prayer While pastors fret about a drop in participation in church, especially among younger Catholics, we have done very little to help Catholics make prayer into a regular, supportive pattern in their daily lives.
Now We Have A Way To Do This! The Book of Catholic Prayer for Every Day can help every parishioner, and every family, begin a regular life of prayer. Based on a month cycle of prayers, using prayer resources familiar to many Catholics, this prayer book can provide a basis to call Catholic parishioners back to a needed way of life. Easy to use by individuals and groups, the prayer book can also become a means of reaching the growing number of borderline Catholics. Quantity-priced at less than $1.00 each,
pastors can provide a truly evangelizing tool for their parishioners.
