“And the group of believers was one in heart and mind… There was no one in the group who was in need.”
Evangelization for Pope Paul was “any activity that seeks to permeate human society with the Gospel’s values. Through the power of the Holy Spirit the Good News of Jesus is proclaimed and lived; transforming individuals, communities, and their structures; liberating them from sin through word and sacrament and by service for justice and peace; and initiating or deepening commitment to Jesus and active membership in the Christian community.”
At your retreat you will be joining a community of Christians to celebrate Jesus. You will learn about ministries within our parish where other retreatants enjoy the fellowship and community of other Catholics.
Ephesians 4:1-6 Unity of the Spirit
1 Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,
2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,
3 being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
