About the Evangelization Department:
 

The Evangelization Department operates under the Vicar General, Msgr. Louis Kihneman, and oversees the five offices shown above, and on the submenu. The Evangelization Department raises awareness of evangelization as the central mission of the Church, not only on the Diocesan level, but the parochial level as well. It helps form evangelization commissions in the parishes which in turn promote active evangelization on the parochial level. Finally, it is a resource for offices and parishes for the unfolding of active evangelization through workshops, materials and consultations.
Timothy Cardinal Dolan on the New Evangelization:

1. Remembering that even those who boast of their secularism have an innate longing for the divine; the first step of evangelization must be to keep the quest for God alive
2. "Be not afraid" -- confident, without being triumphalist, since it is the power of God who sends his people to evangelize 
3. Knowing that the new evangelization is not about presenting a doctrine or belief-system, but a Person, whose name is Jesus
4. Nevertheless, this Jesus is the Truth. Hence, evangelization is linked to catechesis
5. An evangelist must be a person of joy -- someone who smiles
6. The new evangelization is about love -- the love of God made concrete in service
7. Finally, martyrdom. A reminder that the Church is now peopled by those who are suffering persecution for their faith, and that these martyrs give impetus to the new evangelization
