We do have a great impact on people. The responsibility is to build great leadership.” Lynch finished his talk by sharing what he considers to be the key characteristics of a Christian leader.

TheCriterion EVANGELIZATION SUPPLEMENT How to form an evangelization ‘Youths evangelizing youths’ team in your parish By Peg McEvoy

You may have read about how evange- Sean Gallagher Photo by lization can happen in other parishes, but how is it supposed to work in and through your parish? Remember that Jesus started with a group of Apostles, not just one person, and Pentecost did not happen in an individual Peg McEvoy encounter. It happened in a “meeting.” You need a team! How do you get a parish evangelization team started? There are no exact “cookie- cutter” approaches, but here are a few basic steps that should be included in any parish evangelization team formation. • Pray—Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance as you begin this process. • Talk to your pastor—If you haven’t already done so, share with him your desire to work on evangelization efforts in your parish. Ask if he knows of other parishioners or staff members who feel called to Franciscan Father Arturo Ocampo, pastor of St. Patrick Parish in Indianapolis, sings with youths and young adults involved in Las Jornadas, a Hispanic lay evangelization.

I have never ministered in a local Church where the bishop was named a cardinal, but I have known and worked with two men Romano L’Osservatore who became cardinals. Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin was rector CNS photo/ of the cathedral in Atlanta when I served there as a deacon in 1967. Cardinal Avery Dulles and I taught theology at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., together for eight years. After each priest was named a cardinal, I felt a certain measure of pride by association. When I shared this feeling with Cardinal Bernardin, he reminded me in his disarming but insightful manner that for a bishop to be named a cardinal is less a personal honor and more a recognition of the importance of the diocese he leads, which in his case was the Archdiocese of Chicago. This understanding derives from the Latin word for cardinal, “cardo,” meaning “hinge.” In ecclesiastical terms, it implies that the development and success of the Church’s mission “hinges on” the contribution of a bishop’s diocese. What about individuals who aren’t in Pope Benedict XVI addresses the College of Cardinals in Clementine Hall at the Vatican on April 22, 2005.
