What is Evangelization & Catechesis?
"Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize, that is to say, in order to preach and teach, to be the channel of the gift of grace, to reconcile sinners with God, and to perpetuate Christ's sacrifice in the Mass, which is the memorial of His death and glorious resurrection." (Pope Paul VI, On Evangelization in the Modern World, 14)
"The specific character of catechesis, as distinct from the initial conversion-bringing proclamation of the Gospel, has the twofold objective of maturing the initial faith and of educating the true disciple of Christ by means of a deeper and more systematic knowledge of the person and the message of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Pope John Paul II, On Catechesis in Our Time, 19)
"In order that the sacrificial offering of his or her faith (Phil 2:17) should be perfect, the person who becomes a disciple of Christ has the right to receive " the word of faith" (Rom 10:8) not in mutilated, falsified or diminished form but whole and entire, in all its rigour and vigor." (ibid., 30)
