Fire spreads. Since the beginning, that’s exactly how the Church has grown over the centuries; one person sharing the Gospel with another.
Under this effort, the Institute offers a series of skill-building workshops to help Catholics navigate conversations with family, friends, and strangers about the deep questions of life, the human longing for God, and the Good News of his love for us. Sharing the faith does not have to be scary. With the encouragement found in the simple steps taught through these workshops, anyone can answer the baptismal call to carry on the mission of Jesus.
