‘As the Father has sent me, so I send you’

From The Superior Catholic Herald...
 

The Diocese of Superior released Bishop James P. Power’s Pastoral Letter on Evangelization on the Feast of Pentecost, a commemoration of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus’ disciples that is rooted in a Jewish festival celebrating the first fruits of the wheat harvest.

Fittingly, both images – the disciples receiving the Spirit and the celebration of a providential harvest – illustrate Bishop Powers’ vision for the future of the diocesan church, which begins with equipping its more than 50,000 Catholics to become active evangelizers.

The letter was mailed to every family in the diocese in May and is also available online at www.catholicdos.org.

In his preface, the bishop explains that the diocese will be expanding its Maintenance to Mission evangelization initiative from the clergy, which began in 2021, to parish leaders in 2022 and now, in 2023, to lay Catholics.
