The Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association (PNCEA) provides a long-term parish pastoral planning process that is based on the three goals of "Go and Make Disciples." As pastors, parish leaders, and parishioners develop their future together, they also grow in deepening their commitment to the evangelizing mission of the Church. ENVISION is designed so that parishes may carry out the process on their own or make use of additional resources from PNCEA, including a three-day session for ENVISION Leadership Training.

The Parish Renewal Project, operated by the St. John Eudes Center, provides the local parish with an opportunity to tailor a renewal program to suit its particular needs. The Project provides a list of options to create a customized week of renewal that might include: a parish mission, a day of staff development, an in-service for Catholic school teachers, a workshop for catechists, training for the pastoral council, and even an afternoon of recollection for the liturgical ministers. There are also a number of other possibilities for the RCIA team, marriage preparation leaders, the committees on evangelization and social action, or for those interested in reaching out to young adults. Available workshops include "Becoming an Evangelizing Parish," "The Parish Today," "A Process for Strategic Planning," and "Youth Evangelization: Methods, Strategies, and Approaches."

Parishes in over 80 dioceses have participated in RENEW: Spiritual Renewal for the 21st Century, a thorough spiritual renewal and evangelization process designed for parish life in the 21st century. It incorporates themes suggested by Pope John Paul II for this new millennium and implements his call for a new evangelization.

RENEW offers excellent evangelization materials and thorough trainings that give explicit directions on who are the best prospects for outreach, and how and when to approach them. This is done along with the content of the good news message we share.

The RENEW process provides a direct means of implementing 24 of the specific objectives and 83 of the strategies recommended by the U.S. Bishops in their evangelization document "Go and Make Disciples."

For more information about RENEW, please contact Greg Kremer at 908-769-5400 or email renew@renewintl.orq.

The mission of World Prayernet is to promote the practice of giving undivided time to God each day in prayer as a means toward living life in Christ Jesus by the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit, the principle agent of evangelization. World Prayernet takes the form of a campaign undertaken ecumenically through parishes and congregations to their members.

The goal of World Prayernet is to advance the living, personal encounter with Christ Jesus among believers, drawing them to be "of one heart" with God and with each other; and making them a more perfect expression of faith, hope and love to the world.

The Discover Life in Christ Campaign was initiated within the Archdiocese of Baltimore as a response to the need to become a more evangelized, evangelizing community of faith. Inspired by Pope John Paul's call to deepen Christian unity in the Jubilee year and led by Cardinal Keeler, the initiative became a collaborative project fostered by the Central Maryland Ecumenical Council. With input of pastors, theologians and lay leaders representing Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and Evangelical churches, the campaign will be launched at Pentecost 2001.

Each congregation will present teaching on the central importance of a personal prayer relationship with God and invite their members to participate by committing to a dedicated time of daily prayer. Practical campaign materials and teaching resources were developed and tested through a pilot campaign conducted in the Spring of 2000.
