Evangelization
Goal One – Increase Communication
“Working together, we can better use the new technology to evangelize. The pulpit and church bulletin will simply not do. New technologies, including marketing and data technologies and digital targeting of youth, will be necessary.”
— Bishop Earl K. Fernandes, 2023 Evangelization Summit
Goal: Develop a strategic communication plan that provides people in the Diocese of Columbus information on evangelization best practices and access to opportunities available to encounter Christ and grow in their spiritual journey by the First Sunday of Advent, 2027.
Evangelization
Goal Two – Youth and Young Adult Evangelization
“If we are not convicted by our encounter with Jesus and by our Faith, if we do not really believe it, then no one else will. Are we convicted of it? Enough to go out and tell others about it? The New Evangelization catches fire when we really begin to understand how much our God cares about us.”
