Be Inspired

This is a call for everyone.

A powerful witness can rescue the lost. A perseverant witness can restore the family. A hopeful witness can comfort the suffering. This is what the Church has proclaimed again and again.

While listening to talk content from Evangelii Nuntiandi (Evangelization in the Modern World), you'll be wrapped up in the drama of the Gospel and the reminder that this is a call for everyone. You'll have time to contemplate how to be irresistible witnesses through prayer, discussion and experience.

Feel Encouraged

We aren't meant to do it alone.

This witness is amplified when it’s surrounded in kind. Let’s build communities who are Christified by their faith. Let’s build communities with a lifelong desire for mission. Let’s build communities that will transform the culture.

While participating in social time over meals, discussions and happy hours*, you'll recognize you are not alone in your efforts to build Catholic culture in your local community. You'll have time to share stories that call to mind the building of a city in which Christ and his Church have been restored to the center of the human narrative.

*some of these elements are optional during the Virtual Stop

Get Equipped

We learn by seeing it modeled.

Imagine a diocese where inviting new people over for a meal is the weekly norm, 6 a.m. workout groups aren’t just gym buddies but holy friends, and parishioners are actively being trained in sharing apologetics with their coworkers.  Imagine a city where laws change to favor the principles of Catholic social teaching, the best education option for kids are the orthodox Catholic schools, and business owners help fund services for the poor. Is that not the kind of culture in which you’d like to live?

As you experience the totality of the Catholic Culture Tour, you'll be empowered to say “I can build Catholic culture in my own community.” You'll have time to ponder how, when and why to do that through discussion, fellowship and divine inspiration.
