This goal too means that we are to invite effectively every person to come to know the Good News of Jesus proclaimed by the Catholic Church. It means not only that people are invited but also that an essential welcoming spirit is present in homes and in all our religious community and institutions. GOAL OBJECTIVES
To make every Catholic institution, especially our Communities, more welcoming.
To help every faithful feel comfortable about sharing his or her faith and inviting people to discover Christ in our family of believers. To develop within families and households the capacity to share the Gospel and the teaching of our Ascended Masters. To equip and empower our active religious members to exercise their baptismal call to evangelize. To cultivate an active core of the admitted to serve as ministers of evangelization in theircommunities, neighborhoods, workplaces and homes. To effectively invite people to our pray with us and join our community. To design programs of outreach for those who have ceased being active in the Church. To design programs that reach out in particular ways to those who do not participate in a church community or who seek the fullness of faith. To foster the cultural diversity of the Church. To deepen ecumenical involvement. The strategy behind this goal is to create a more welcoming attitude toward others in our parishes so that people feel at home, to create an attitude of sharing faith and develop greater skills to do this, and to undertake activities to invite others to know the love of God for his people better.
