The Evangelization Handbook for Parishes offers a step-by-step approach for parishes to organize an Evangelization Committee and promote their goals of evangelization. Revised and published in 2001, the handbook encourages Catholic consciousness and teaches readers how to promote messages of the Catholic Church. The handbook also provides sample programs, techniques and support tactics to invite parishioners and interested individuals to be a part of a greater Catholic Community.
The Evangelization Handbook is divided into two main sections. Part one lays the groundwork for evangelization, focusing on the planning stages, and identifying the need to form a committee to lead evangelization programs. Part two describes "how to" evangelize. It identifies the three major goals of evangelization as determined by the U.S. Bishops and presents plans for parishes to reach those goals.
Practical resources such as sample letters, evaluation forms, and worksheets are available, as well as a copy of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Chart of Evangelizing Assets. This chart summarizes how committees and staff can utilize parish assets and talents to evangelize effectively. To purchase the Evangelization Handbook for Parishes and Chart of Evangelizing Assets, contact Julie Kurer in the Adult and Family Ministry Office at 414-769-3442 or 800-769-9373 ext. 442 (within the ten counties of the archdiocese), or email kurerj@archmil.org. You may also access the order form from our website (www.archmil.org) under Departments - Adult & Family Ministry – Evangelization Handbook.
