     Then this prayer:

Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, Glory to the Holy Spirit;  the Trinity - one God. Let us also become many yet remain one. 

As the Son sent the seventy two out to preach the good news, send us out also. 
Guide us as we share our Eastern Catholic Faith with those near to us and those far away.    Help us to evangelize by both the words we speak and the life we live.  Let us reach the young, the elderly, those that have left Your church, and those who are not aware of its Life-giving Mysteries.  May they fill Your Temple and experience You in a personal way;  Worshipping you in Mind and Body. 

O Lord, let the zeal of evangelization be placed on our hearts and the openness of mind to those whom we speak.

O Holy Trinity glory be to Thee.

Leader:  Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God have mercy on us and save us. 

People:  Amen. 


Torparian,  Kontokian, & 
Theotokian for the prayer service.

Tone 7

   Zeal for My Father's house consumes me, / for I was baptized priest, prophet, and king. / Help me to proclaim Your Heavenly Kingdom to the world, / and to increase the sheep of Your flock. / O Shepherd and Master, / let your flock increase within our church.

   Glory be to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...

    You instructed Your disciples to baptize all nations. / instruct us also in how to evangelize our faith / and share these treasures with those outside our walls, / to increase the number of the faithful in true and righ worship of You. /  O Savior and Divine Teacher, save us!

    Now and ever and forever.  Amen.

    O Most Holy Theotokos, / you instruct us in the ways of your Son. / Teach us also how to share our faith with others, / that we might bring them to the Mystical Banquet, / and feed them on your Son. / O Seat of Wisdom and Fount of Heaven. / guide us in our efforts to evangelize. 


Why Parish Evangelization?

To become aware of the need for evangelization in our parish and church as a whole and our responsibility to spread the Gospel and to allow others the opportunity to enter into the Kingdom of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.


Whom do I evangelize?

1.  Those who left our parish but still reside in our area. 

2.  Those people you know who are not practicing their Catholic Faith. 

3.  The unchurched!


How do I evangelize?

1.  You must first be living the life of faith!
We must be a witness to this life by our own actions. 

2.  Do not be afraid to ask someone to join us for Divine Liturgical Service or in one of our parish activities.
