TH 33 - The Laity and the Call to Joyful Witness in the Apostolate

Participants will understand the importance of participating in sacred liturgy and connect this
participation to their missionary mandate to “go in peace to love and serve the Lord and one
another” (Concluding Rites, USCCB). This course is designed in two units. This first unit centers
on the Mass and specific faith community needs; the second showcases the New Evangelization
and Pope Francis’ evangelization methods “to repropose the call to holiness in a practical way
for our time” (Gaudete et Exsultate, No. 2). A final audio assessment will be an opportunity for
participants to address a specific ministry and reflect on its missionary outreach—its capacity to
be a joyful witness.
