7. Evangelii Nuntiandi
"The Church is an EVANGELIZER, but she begins by
EVANGELIZING herself by constant conversion and
renewal, in order to EVANGELIZE the world with credibility“
– Pope Paul VI
How did PREX start?
8. According to Fr. Chuck…
“…for evangelization to become
a reality, it required a "people
focus".
It should begin with a conversion
experience that is oriented to the
parish, the basic structure of the
Catholic Church,
and that it must start with the
family, the basic unit of society…”
Fr. Charles “Chuck” Gallagher, S.J.
