"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything that I have commanded them. And behold, I am with you always until the end of the world” (Matthew 28, 19-20).


The Holy Spirit propelled those who knew Jesus to go out, teach, preach, baptize, make disciples; in short, to separate the good news of salvation to the ends of the known world. The task of evangelizing all people constitutes the essential mission of the church. It is a task and a mission that the extensive and profound changes in today's society make more urgent. Evangelizing is in fact the tolerance and vocation appropriate to the church, its deepest identity.

Evangelization is a dynamic reality. It is a “process by which the church, moved by the spirit, proclaims and spreads the gospel throughout the entire world” (GDC, 48). An evangelizing spirit needs to be integrated into the life and ministry of every believer and into the vision and direction of every parish community.

In our parish, different ministries have been created and in each of them there are different programs for the community to participate and achieve an encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ.
