Evangelization Ministry

Our Evangelization Committee seeks to create and implement ways to invite and encourage new Christ seekers to explore our Catholic Faith. The committee fosters a welcoming environment— where people can connect, share meals and build friendships.

A Prayer:

Lord Jesus,
I believe You died for me and that You are alive and listening to me now. I repent of my sins and ask Your forgiveness. Come and take control of my life. From this moment on, I decide to live for You and no longer for myself, to do Your will and not mine. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Show me the way to the Father. Now fill me with Your Holy Spirit, Who will teach me how to live for You and tell the world You are my Savior and Lord. I love You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus I trust in You

Chairpersons: Patrick Powers and Deacon Kelly Mocahbee
