Catholics Prepare for Evangelization Effort
Our history shows that African

is the title o f the American Bishops’
National Plan and Strategy forCatho-
lic Evangelization. A rchbishop
Vlazny, with the support o f the priests
o f the Archdiocese invited the Paulist
National Catholic Evangelization
Association to Portland to begin a
five-year process o f renewal and en
richment.
The Archdiocese o f Portland be
gan a year o f preparation for Dis
ciples in Mission in January 2000
with an extensive training session for
the 3 7-member archdiocesan leader
ship team.
Parishes then began to sign up to
participate in the process. At this
time 91 parishes and missions plus
two special ministries in western Or
egon are planning to participate in
Catholics in western Oregon have
begun an evangelization effort known
as Disciples in Mission which inte
grates Sunday liturgies, small faith
sharing groups, catechesis, family
activities, and parish planning into a
parish wide experience o f evangeliza
tion.
It is designed to help parishes
integrate the liturgical, catechetical
and social ministries already existing
in the parish with a true call to evan
gelize.
When Archbishop John G. Vlazny
came to western Oregon, and began
his ministry as the tenth Archbishop
o f Portland, he adopted the phrase
“Go and make disciples” for his motto.
This phrase, which is taken from the
28,hChapterofSt. Matthew’sGospel,
Disciples in Mission.
Parishioners will be encouraged to
sign-up for small faith sharing groups
that will begin during the Lenten sea
son.
Disciples in Mission is designed
to be an inclusive process for Catho
lics. Materials are available for En
glish. Spanish, and V ietnamese seek
ing groups. M aterials are being
adapted for the Catholic deaf commu
nity and for other people with dis
abilities.
There are materials for teens, for
African American Catholic faith shar
ing groups, and for cross cultural
participation. After Easter, parishio
ners will come together to reflect upon
their parish, it ministries and evange
lization efforts.
