The apostolate

[NDIrish]

How many out there carry on an active apostolate, and do you have any suggestions for others?

 

[Roald]

How do you define apostolate?

 

[NDIrish]

Evangelization...converting people to Catholicism. Mostly through personal relationships and living a Christ-like life.

I have been back in the Catholic church for 4 months, and I don't know if this counts, but I encouraged a person that's been out of the church for years to begin attending again. She did come back and thank me though.
I am still in prayer as to how best to reach out to people. I would like to learn more from others

I was at a workshop today. They gave a very good opening line for talking with people who claimed to be Catholic, but didn't really live a Sacramental life. It's kind of the Catholic equivalent of "Have you been saved?"

They said, any time you are talking with a new friend, and they say they are Catholic, ask them: "When was the last time you went to Confession?" They were saying that you would be amazed at the conversations that resulted from this one question.

well, I am actually converting to catholosm from Judaism, and I have deicded to do it alone without anyone even talking with me about, I know that most of you are not to agree with me to what I am going to say here, but I believe that you don't need to do these kind of stuff. Whether it's to another religion, or abother branch. Even if it's the smallest thing ever, I still think it's not right, maybe I am seeing things a little bit different than you guys, but that's my opinion

I started one: Saint Michael Center for Catholic Apologetics

We are a small bunch of guys right now. We have monthly Bible studies. We pass out tracts and rosaries at malls and other public places. I've spoke at a few Protestant churches (Q&A type stuff), answer emails from people online.

That kind of stuff

I am affiliated with The Apostolate for Family Consecration aka Catholic Familyland located in Ohio. There we learn evangelization and are encouraged to transform our families, neighborhoods and parishes with the power of the Truth. This is a family based apostolate that involves the entire family. Familyland also has a television network from the SkyAngel network- channel 9717

You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.

Lizzy, I'm curious...why do you think that it's wrong to try to get people to convert to Catholicism?
