“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19)Through Our Lady of Guadalupe Institute for Evangelization and Catechesis, together we will reinforce the kerygma (Greek for “proclamation”) of the Gospel and prayerfully empower its intentional diffusion through evangelization. While strengthening our Church community in the Diocese of Corpus Christi, we will grow as well-catechized evangelists guided by the Holy Spirit, grounded in Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, and freshly motivated unto ministerial service.

This course will strengthen awareness of the message of the “kerygma” (Greek for “proclamation”) of the Gospel as the “why” of our lives as Catholics. We will consider the roles of evangelization and catechesis in our lives, as well as what evangelization looks like in families, among friends, at work, at the parish, and beyond. This, like all courses in the Institute, will be a balanced blend of teachings, group discussion, prayer and Lectio Divina reflections over Sacred Scripture.
