The "Go Make Disciples: The Eucharistic Revival & the Call to Evangelize" conference, organized by Fullness of Truth, is scheduled for March 7-9, 2025, at the Randolph Riverfront Center in Alexandria, Louisiana.
We are all called to sainthood. Yes, but since we're fallen, that just not going to happen on its own. It requires a process.
All are called to spread the Good News of Jesus - yes, all of us. Evangelization is not an option, but Christ's express command! But most Catholics feel ill-prepared to take up the challenge. So, on March 7th thru March 9th at the Randolph Riverfront Convention Center in Alexandria, LA, Fullness of Truth presents its 4th Annual Diocesan Lenten Catholic Family Conference entitled, “Go Make Disciples!: The Eucharistic Revival & the Call to Evangelize”. Equip yourselves with the expertise of renown convert scripture scholar & prolific author, DR. JOHN BERGSMA, the dynamic Louisiana-native & veteran Catholic apologist DR. KARLO BROUSSARD, the spunky Catholic convert “evangelista” & author SONJA CORBITT, and the hilarious comedian & evangelist PAUL J. KIM. Sacred music will be offered by NOLA-based & Hallow App’s THE VIGIL PROJECT throughout the weekend as well. By definition, to be a Christian is to be an evangelizer. The good news is - you can do it – and you don't need esoteric knowledge. Our Conference will be your guide to what the “New Evangelization” is, and to the next chapter in the National Eucharistic Revival; a new Pentecost!
The crisis in the Church is painfully obvious in the sharp declines in Catholic marriages, infant baptisms, Sunday Mass attendance, and the number of priests. Meanwhile, the number of semi-active and ex-Catholics is skyrocketing! Many “millennials” notoriously consider themselves “spiritual, but not religious”. The Catholic laity must now decide whether they will be passive onlookers or choose to act. Recent popes have challenged all Catholics to participate in the “New Evangelization”. But what does “evangelization” mean for today's Catholics? This Conference is designed to light a fire under every Catholic and to inspire an active response of faith. Our speakers have diagnosed the common problems average Catholics face when it comes to sharing the Faith, and they will offer simple but profound strategies to overcome these problems. Believe it or not, you can learn the skills needed for evangelization, starting today! No matter what your specific gift or walk of life, you have a role to play in revitalizing Catholicism in America. This is a new moment in the life of the Church. Don’t miss it!
