Moving out for Mission

On October 4, 2006 over seventy Catholics gathered in the Church of the Crucifixion in Glen Burnie to explore ways to move forward evangelization in the Archidiocese of Baltimore. The evening began with lively praise led by two young adults, Paul Ascosi and Noel Jopson. Following the time of worship three speakers spoke on the need for evangelization and ChristLife's "missionary corps."

Fr. Erik Arnold, pastor of Crucifixion parish, began the talk by explaining ChristLife's involvement in the Franklin Graham Festival and the One Thing Celebration in Summer 2006. Dave Nodar, director of ChristLife, spoke next on the need for a "movement" of lay Catholics radically committed to knowing Christ and making him known. Finally, Pete Ascosi, ChristLife's young adult project manager, rallied those present to respond to the Lord's call to evangelize.

The end result was an invitation for those present to participate in a "missionary corps" as part of ChristLife's apostolate.

The Into the Fields retreat is the first step in ChristLife's missionary corps.
