INSTITUTE FOR EVANGELIZATION

Pastoral Staff Day 2022

“(Our) mission is to catch hold of the light of the Gospel as encapsulated in the Eucharist, and then, in the grace of the Holy Spirit, to allow that light to radiate in us and through us to those around us. Our mission is to be cleansed and enlightened, even as we walk with others who are being cleansed, enlightened and prepared to gaze with inexpressible joy upon him who is “God from God and light from light.” Dear brothers and sisters, the time is short, and my appeal is urgent. Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord! (Is 2:5)”

-Archbishop Lori, LBV 2.0

What is Pastoral Staff Day?

Pastoral Staff Day is an opportunity for parish staffs and leadership to join their pastor and other parishes from around the Archdiocese for a day of prayer, community, reflection and encouragement in their evangelizing work. This day is an occasion for parish teams to actively engage and strategize about their local evangelization efforts.

INSTITUTE FOR

Evangelization

The Archdiocese of Baltimore’s Institute for Evangelization is a new model for engagement with parishes seeking to realize their evangelizing mission more fully.
The Institute is composed of four offices that collaborate closely to ensure that support is never “one-size fits all” but can adapt to the changing needs of each parish community.
