Empowering Disciples,
Transforming Lives

The Lumen Christi School of Evangelization is a diocesan formation initiative designed to equip parish leaders and faithful Catholics with the spiritual foundation, practical tools, and pastoral confidence needed to share the Gospel within their parish communities. Through prayer, solid Catholic teaching, and hands-on formation, participants journey through discipleship, evangelization, and missionary outreach, preparing them to serve as effective evangelists and help foster a culture of evangelization in their parishes.

The year-long experience begins with an Opening Retreat, followed by three sequential units: Discipleship, Evangelization, and Missionary Discipleship, each designed to deepen personal faith while providing practical training for parish ministry. The program concludes with a Commissioning Mass, sending graduates forth to serve their parishes and communities. Formation is offered concurrently in English and Spanish, fostering a truly bilingual and unified learning environment.
