Eucharistic-centered evangelization efforts

The Office for Divine Worship, the Office of Religious Education and the Communications Ministry of the diocese have developed resources to encourage people to return to Sunday Mass.
“As we seek to foster the return of parishioners to Church” three eucharistic-centered evangelization efforts are being made available, according to Msgr. James P. Moroney, director of the Office for Divine Worship in its monthly newsletter “Orantes.”

Three strategies are proposed in the newsletter.
First: To engage regular churchgoers to deepen their full and active participation in the Mass and inspire them to share their love of the Mass.
Second: To empower regular churchgoers to invite family, friends, and others to come back to Mass.
Third: To strengthen the commitment of our parishes to be places of authentic celebration, welcome and loving concern for all who have returned.
This week The Catholic Free Press presents the first of five topics on the Mass, “The obligation to attend Mass.” Msgr. Moroney has written this article, which is also available in an abridged version for parish bulletins.
The next four topics, also available through the Office for Divine Worship in a shortened form, are: “How do we encounter Christ at Mass?”; “What do I bring to Mass and what do I get?”; “The Mass fulfills the hungers of the human heart” and “Extending an invitation to Mass.”
