Spreading the message of Jesus
A deacon who organized a door-to-door campaign for his parish this past Saturday writes,
Our door to door this past Saturday was fantastic! I had the experience of my life! Of course it was a little different reaction for me, as I was wearing clerics I suppose. We had some children and youth with us, which turned out OK. (The youths were too shy to talk) We had some 4 teams, of 2s and 3s (with the kids). We handed out fliers about our Church with mass times, holy hour time, and RCIA contact information, we had the pillar of fire, OSV pamphlet, and a conversion story CD in each packet. The goal was not numbers but trying to have a long conversation which includes spreading the message of Jesus. We were somewhat successful, my partner and I had some long conversations and we were thrilled with the response, some of the other teams did not do as well. But a great experience and I preached about it today as well. I am hoping to go out a couple more times this summer.
May the Lord bless these people for stepping out in faith to search for lost souls!
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field – Luke 10:2
St. Paul, pray for us!














Which diocese is this? Our deacons do not wear clerics, and we wonder if some of our priests ever do.
Dino,
It was in Lansing, MI.
Deacons typically wear their clerics here in DC as well, at least when attending “church” events.
It seems that you had a nice experience, keep it up!!
Tender thanks you championing details. It helped me in my responsibility
