Father Ethan Southard joins Patrick to discuss New Ways to Evangelize

  • Importance of Evangelization
  • (14:49) what is the New Evangelization?

(19:10) Break 1

  • (20:54) Arlene – My way of evangelizing is I’m a pretty good in giving reflections. Just an ordinary woman trying to be a better person as a Catholic. Every time I read the gospel, I try to search prayers and if I see a prayer or reflection, I share it with relatives/friends.
  • (28:03) Joe – One way is trying to do ministry of care. Bringing the Eucharist to people who are sick and in nursing facilities. Also believe we need to learn how to help someone who wants to become Catholic. Referring people to sources of information and also being welcoming.
  • How pleasant we are is important with generalization.

(37:17) Break 2

  • How can we evangelize if we are afraid or feel inadequate.
  • (42:09) Marcel – I think that the dioceses that have active young adult groups and Cursillo…sets a wonderful experience that many have made. By being involved with that, you learn a lot about evangelization and can share what works and what doesn’t. Get to know them.
  • Dangers of AI.
