Proclaiming the Good News of Jesus as a Catholic

Fr. Robert Barron

What is Catholic evangelization? How and why should I talk about Jesus? These questions and many more are treated in this excellent series of articles by Fr. Robert Barron. Fr. Barron is a professor at the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary in the Archdiocese of Chicago. He also contributes directly to the mission of evangelization through his program of evangelical Catholic preaching on a radio/podcast program, called Word on Fire.

• The core of evangelization: we depend on each other
  What is it that makes Catholic evangelization distinctively Catholic?



• Practical strategies of evangelization
  Be a bearer of faith; let the language of faith be on your lips
