While many faith formation courses are offered online through My Catholic Faith Delivered, they are also offered locally for people of all ages, along with small and large group gatherings such as RENEW, Living the Eucharist, various Bible study offerings, as well as annual diocesan sponsored Convocations and Congresses . By actively joining in the celebration of the Eucharist, the Sacraments, Holy Hours, novenas, processions, retreats and days or evenings of reflection, and other liturgical practices already taking place in parishes and our Catholic schools and academies in Brooklyn and Queens, we grow in our love for and knowledge of Christ and His Church and invite others to do the same . As a baptized Catholic, called to be a missionary disciple, our goal is to be a bearer of the Good News found in the Gospels and an active evangelizer of others seeking an understanding of our Catholic faith . I encourage you to carefully read this School of Evangelization Guidebook and take advantage of the offerings provided for you, your family, and your friends . Find your local parish in Brooklyn or Queens by using the online parish locator (www .bqonlineformation .org) or become reconnected with your local par- ish if you have been away from the Church . Join a parish group, develop a family faith plan, participate in one or more of the events found at the end of this Guidebook, reflect on what will benefit your relationship with our loving God, and seek ways to begin or enhance your relationship with our loving God . I ask the Lord to extend His choicest blessings upon you and your loved ones, especially during this coming Year of Mercy . Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Ph .D ., D .D . Bishop of Brooklyn The School of Evangelization joins together an array of persons and programs devoted to renewing our local church with the joy of the Gospel . Each one of the courses, conferences, and catechetical resources found in this Guidebook offers an opportunity to encounter Christ through the treasures of Scripture, Tradition, and theology practiced with the mind of the Church . This encounter always evokes joy because Jesus Christ is the love of God made flesh (cf . 1 John 4:16; John 1:14), and his loving presence has the power to heal wounded lives and promote a culture of encounter . Those involved in the SOE sponsored programs, as administrators and instructors, deserve the gratitude of the entire diocese for their hard work and courage to embrace new approaches to faith formation and theological education . I am proud to count as colleagues the lay leaders, consecrated women and men, and brother priests and deacons who engage in these ministries . May God use them as instruments for leading others to know and love Christ more deeply . Most Reverend James Massa, Ph .D ., D .D .

This past year, the staff saw a tremendous increase in the number of individuals participating in the courses, events, and initiatives sponsored by the Diocesan School of Evangelization . At least 50% more people took part in nearly every major event! The Diocese of Brooklyn is a vibrant community of Catholics eager to grow in their faith, and share it .

This is the first year of our four-year Diocesan plan called theJoy of Encountering Christ: the Family’s Hope. The six goals of this plan are: offer multiple opportunities for people to encounter Christ; increase full, active, and conscious participation in the Mass; increase daily prayer among all Catholics; attract and support inactive Catholics; enhance participation in parish life/religious education at all levels of Faith Formation; and invite and welcome seekers . Please go to meetmein church. for resources to assist you in actualizing these goals in your life .

Luigi Giussani is well-known as the founder of Communion and Liberation and the author of numerous books, including The Religious Sense. But what is less understood about him is how he broke through the conventional opposition between liberalism and traditionalism, and proposed Christianity in a way that answers the challenges of modernity to the Christian faith.

Tonight’s gathering is an occasion to delve more deeply into the contents of a fundamental concept of Christianity: the “encounter,” as understood and taught by Fr. Giussani. Born in 1922 in Desio, Italy, Giussani described his childhood as “poor in bread but rich in music.” He began the path of his priestly vocation at the tender age of 10, and those formative years were filled with encounters that marked his life.

  • MY HEART IS GLAD BECAUSE YOU LIVE, OH CHRIST Spiritual Exercises of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation Rimini, April 28, 2017
    MY HEART IS GLAD BECAUSE YOU LIVE, OH CHRIST Spiritual Exercises of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation Rimini, April 28, 2017 Notes from the Introduction by Julián Carrón “Let not your prayer be a mechanical exercise,” Fr. Giussani told us. Therefore, “let us elevate our awareness, let us reawaken our responsibility! […] The whole world is as if under this leaden pall that is the forgetfulness of the reason one wakes up in the morning, takes things up again, takes oneself in hand again. The impact that all things have on the human person is to say: ‘Wake up […]’. […] My God, how this redemption of every morning should be! But instead, an oppressive forgetfulness is what normally disqualifies our days from the beginning, even if they are then full of activity. […] When we gather together, we do so to look again toward the light […] [to shake off this forgetfulness, to] not allow the person near us to cry, alone and without a horizon. […] In this way, in this moment, our head can emerge from the normal fog that usually covers it: we re-gain awareness, resume our responsibility for ourselves and for things, for love of ourselves and for love of the sun, for love of ourselves and for love of people. […] It is up to us that this companionship be awake in the world and subsist, this possibility of companionship that abolishes the isolation between me and you, between one person and another person, and enables things to be useful, enables time to be useful.”1 Let us ask with all the awareness of which we are capable.

  • LETTER of JOHN PAUL II to MSGR. LUIGI GIUSSANI on the OCCASION of the 50Th ANNIVERSARY of the MOVEMENT "COMMUNION and LIBERATION"
    The Holy See LETTER OF JOHN PAUL II TO MSGR. LUIGI GIUSSANI ON THE OCCASION OF THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOVEMENT "COMMUNION AND LIBERATION" To Rev. Mons. Luigi Giussani, Founder of the Movement "Communion and Liberation" 1. It will be 50 years in October since you stopped lecturing at the theological faculty of the Seminary at Venegono and began to teach religion in Milan at Berchet Secondary School. This was how you came to set out on the way to an ecclesial association that was subsequently to become the Movement, and later, also the Fraternity of "Communion and Liberation". I gladly join you in the surge of gratitude to God, the Giver of every good thing, that wells up in your priestly heart and in the hearts of the Movement's members on this anniversary. In this half century, divine Providence has brought to life an institution which, spreading rapidly in Italy and throughout the world, has yielded an abundant harvest of good for the Church and for society. Today the Movement exists in 70 countries and offers a faith experience that can take root in the most varied cultures; it is an experience that profoundly changes people's lives since it impels them to a personal encounter with Christ. "Communion and Liberation" is a Movement that together with a whole range of other associations and new communities can rightly be considered one of the new shoots of the promising "springtime" inspired by the Holy Spirit in these past 50 years. This half century has been distinguished by a harsh clash with the dominant ideologies in a crisis of utopian projects, and more recently, by a widespread tendency to relativism, scepticism and nihilism that risks dampening the hopes and aspirations of the new generations.
