Evangelization News, Tips & Ideas
Want to Renew Your Parish? Do This!
A holy priest renews his parish. It's as simple as that. When a priest is connected intimately to Christ the Vine through a strong spiritual life and a healed and healthy humanity, the life of Christ pours out through him into his parish. Many of us lament the current state of our parishes: the lack of vibrancy, the lack of spiritual nourishment, the declining numbers. But do we realize that the key to parish renewal is the holiness of our priests? And do we realize that we as the laity have the power to assist with this transformation? See below for a powerful initiative created by a local lay woman, Randa Jabbour, as a way for us to participate in Christ's work of conforming His priests to His own Heart. Consider starting a team for each of the priests in your parish!
- The Intercessory Prayer Support Team is a call to strengthen the Church and her priests by organizing a team of 7-10 people who commit for one year to pray for one specific priest. To learn more about this initiative and how to get started, visit http://www.phillyevang.org/pray4priests/.
Archbishop Chaput's New Book
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap, Archbishop Emeritus of Philadelphia, has published a new book, Things Worth Dying For: Thoughts on a Life Worth Living. In the book, Archbishop Chaput delves richly into our yearning for God, love, honor, beauty, truth, and immortality. He examines the chronic questions of the human heart; the idols and false flags we create; and the nature of a life of authentic faith.Ultimately, with compelling grace, Archbishop Chaput shows us that the things worth dying for reveal most powerfully the things worth living for.

Blindsided by gender ideology? Have hope:
The Person and Identity Project
The mission of the Person and Identity Project is to assist the Catholic Church in promoting the Catholic vision of the human person and responding to the challenges of gender ideology. Gender ideology has permeated the culture with stunning speed, influencing medicine, business, media, entertainment, government and education. Because it is sowing confusion and undermining the Church’s mission of evangelization, the rise of gender ideology has created an urgent need for clarity, education, and compassionate guidance for Catholic families and young people. The Person and Identity Project provides formation, resources, and pastoral guidance on issues of faith, “gender,” and sexual identity.
