“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Each of us is called to be engaged in the work of evangelization! It’s not only the job of the parish priest or parish staff, but rather of every parishioner to proclaim the good news to all that we meet. 

We are called to be Missionary Disciples.  The Archdiocese of St. Louis has defined Missionary Discipleship that we are all called to Encounter Jesus, Grow in our relationship with Him and Witness Him to others constantly.   

As we continue All Things New, let's keep asking the Lord to renew our parishes and institutions with an Evangelizing Mission. To help prepare you for that mission, we have resources for you below to help equip you with New Hearts, New Minds and New Methods. 

Learn more about how you can live the mission of Evangelization that All Things New seeks to embody at allthingsnew.archstl.org/mission.

"I dream of a “missionary option”, that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channeled for the evangelization of today’s world rather than for her self-preservation."
– Joy of the Gospel, 27
