101 Ways to Evangelize Value Bundle (4 PDFs)
The Church is calling Catholics to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to a world that desperately needs it. Parishes need to reach out to the wider community beyond their walls, and individuals need to become confident witnesses to the transforming love of Jesus Christ.
But what does this evangelizing mission look like for you and your parish? How can you begin? And how is this different from “Church as usual”?
The four resources in this PDF bundle will help you imagine the answers to those questions with practical advice and creative ideas to get you started. The bundle includes:
- The book 101 Ways to Evangelize: Ideas for Helping Fearless, Fearful, and Flummoxed Catholics Share the Good News of Jesus Christ in a letter-sized printable PDF format (20 pages)
- Brainstorming for Evangelization Facilitator’s Guide (3 pages)
- A Local Assessment for Parish Evangelization (4 pages)
- Discerning Your Parish Vision Facilitator’s Guide (4 pages)

MISSION: FAMILY: A Journal to Help Catholic Families Discover Their Unique Vision, Mission, and Rule of Life
God wants your family to become fully what it was meant to be so that it may share in his mission of love to the world. How special is that?
But it’s difficult to do that if we leave our family path to chance, constantly reacting to circumstances rather than having a plan and a direction in mind. The obvious direction is towards God’s path—but what does that mean for us right here and now?
MISSION: FAMILY will help you answer that question by exploring your family’s identity, vision, mission, and rule of life. Each of the six chapters includes a brief introduction to the topic; a few questions for reflection and discussion, with plenty of writing space for recording your insights and decisions; and a menu of family activities to get everyone in the family engaged and excited about your plan.

Discerning a Parish Vision (PDF)
It’s virtually impossible to become an evangelizing parish unless the parish operates within a common vision of who they are called to be. A common, articulated vision serves as a North Star, and gives you the ability to measure your progress in reaching the vision for your parish.
“Discerning a Parish Vision” outlines a process for doing just that. Over three sessions, parish leaders prayerfully discern their own parish’s unique vision for evangelization. The three sessions, each about 90 minutes, include:
- Lectio Divina for Vision
- Discerning the Vision
- Drafting a Vision Statement

Through a prayerful assessment of your parish and the community it serves. This assessment has three parts:
- Crunch attendance and registration numbers
- The discipleship level in your parish
- The spiritual and material needs of the wider community

Sydney and Calvin Have a Baby
After her dream date turns tragic, geeky writing prodigy Sydney Camden just wants to retreat into the safe escape of her stories. She certainly wants nothing to do with Calvin, an annoyingly cute British ex-pat who also happens to be her rapist’s cousin. But perhaps the Divine Author is writing her a much different love story than she expected….
Sydney and Calvin Have a Baby is a smart, funny coming-of-age story that doesn’t flinch from the very real issues confronting teens today, but draws on Catholic wisdom to weave a story in which hope triumphs over despair, forgiveness vanquishes sin, and a culture of life triumphs over death.
