Catholicism: The New Evangelization Leader's Kit

"It takes one generation from inadequate adult catechesis to non-church attendance, and then it only takes one generation from non-church attendance to unbelief."
- CATHOLICISM: The New Evangelization trailer

CATHOLICISM taught us what the Church believes and why. CATHOLICISM: The New Evangelization shows us how to put our Faith into ACTION in today's increasingly secular world. The Catholic faith is not about myths or legends, symbols or literary devices. It's about an encounter so overwhelming that you want to tell the whole world.It is an encounter with Jesus Christ.

Throughout history the call of Christ has sent people to the corners of the earth with a message of great joy, a message that has built civilizations, inspired cultures and even sent some to prisons and to their graves. We have the same call - that's the New Evangelization. This new documentary series from Father Barron's Word On Fire, continues the story of CATHOLICISM and explores the Church's mission and the challenges of contemporary culture.
