“To be evangelizers of souls, we need to develop a spiritual taste for being close to people’s lives and to discover that this is itself a source of greater joy. To be missionary is at once a passion for Jesus and a passion for his people.”
Evangelization News, Tips & Ideas
What is the Kerygma?
At our recent Making Missionary Disciples workshop with Dr. Edward Sri from FOCUS, attendees were taught (and had a chance to practice) how to share the "kerygma" with others. The kerygma is the proclamation of our core belief that God became man in the person of Jesus Christ who suffered, died, and rose from the dead to save us from our sins and draw us into union with Himself for all Eternity. Knowing how to share the kerygma with others in a simple and compelling manner is one of the main tools that every missionary disciple needs to have in their toolbox. In the two articles below, FOCUS teaches us a way to do it - check them out and start practicing!

Event: How to Survive (and Thrive) at College: A Workshop for High School Students on God, Truth, and the University
Collegium Institute invites high school students to apply now for our Summer 2022 Young Catholic Leaders Initiative seminar. Statistically, college is where faith goes to die. Not only faith, but even truth itself has become the object of intense scrutiny and skepticism in the academy. How do you retain or even grow in your faith in the college environment? What is truth, why does it matter, and are there any truths you would die for? Through lectures and seminars, tours and pilgrimages, we'll explore these questions and what it means to be true to yourself, true to your friends and family, and true to God both in the university and beyond. Applications are due on Monday, May 30.
