Catholics Prepare for Evangelization Effort
Our history shows that African
American women are at greater risk
of dying from breast
cancer than all other
women.
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.
