Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA

Endorsement and Support for the Evangelical Catholic

The Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, spans the globe and is constantly looking for ways to engage its young (18-38) population to encourage growth in faith and the practice of it. The Evangelical Catholic continues to be a blessing in this process of engagement. The Evangelical Catholic coaches and resources ministries to launch lay people to fulfill the Great Commission in the world. They know how to reach young people and the not-so-young and offer them an approach based solidly on Catholic theology and pedagogy. In a world where it is important to know how to invite, they reach lay people and encourage them to develop into effective missionary disciples. I have been impressed by their work in the archdiocese entrusted to my pastoral care. 

The Evangelical Catholic coaches local ministry leaders to foster daily habits of mental prayer, devotion to scripture, love for the sacraments, love for people, and zeal for the Good News of Jesus Christ among those to whom they are sent. I appreciate that The Evangelical Catholic does not seek merely to build Evangelical Catholic programs. Rather, by empowering lay Catholics for personal apostolates, local ministries expand their evangelical impact in the surrounding community according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

Continuing to look for avenues for further partnership, I fully support their work in the Catholic Church.
