Evangelization workshop will take place on April 26 in Indianapolis

The archdiocesan Office of Evangelization is offering a workshop titled “Evangelization 101: A Simple Approach to Forming Teams, Witnessing and Accompanying One Another” at St. Mark the Evangelist Parish, 535 E. Edgewood Road, in Indianapolis, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on April 26.

This workshop is open to all parish ministry leaders, pastors and parish life coordinators.

Brian Miller, evangelization director for the Archdiocese of St. Louis, will equip and inspire participants with a basic approach to encouraging parish communities and their leaders to share the good news of Jesus Christ—a call Christ gave to all of his followers:

“Go into all the world and proclaim the good news” (Mk 16:15).

Miller will speak on how to bring others together to pray and offer strategies to reach out to a parish’s three audiences: the unchurched, alienated Catholics and practicing Catholics.

A $30 fee will be assessed to an attendee’s parish for the event, which includes lunch and materials. Registration is required at tinyurl.com/markevang25.

For more information, contact Anita Bardo, archdiocesan evangelization coordinator, at 317-236-1466 or abardo@archindy.org.
