This is the first in a series of homilies introducing our new Parish vision and plan following the New Evangelization. The New Evangelization recognizes that our faith isn’t first about our practices rather it’s first about what God has done for us, and religion is a response to that. It’s really all about GOLF; God Offers Love First, And then we respond by serving him and following His teachings. So passing on the faith, or evangelizing, is praying for and inviting someone to experience the miracle of encountering God’s Love, in response that person will then want learn more, and practice more, and follow more, and share more, their faith.
