Additional Information about Evangelization Basic Training

As Catholics, we are called to evangelize and pass on the Good News of Jesus Christ. This training, presented by St. Paul Street Evangelization and held on Saturday, October 18, from 9 AM to Noon, will help you do just that. 

Who is St. Paul?

St. Paul, the Apostle, is considered the greatest of the early missionaries and evangelists. Saul, as he was first referred to in Acts, was upset by the early Christian Church, seeing it as breaking Jewish tradition. Along with others, he persecuted the early Christians until his encounter with Jesus, who told him, “I am whom you are persecuting” (Acts 9:4-5). The experience left Saul blind. Jesus sent him to Damascus, where he was baptized and his sight restored. His name became Paul, and he spent the rest of his life journeying on missions of evangelizing and writing letters, the earliest records of life and history of the early Church. They became part of the Canon of the New Testament, an invaluable record of the expansion of Christianity.
