Evangelization Resources

I was asked by a lay minister if I could recommend any resources to use to welcome back inactive Catholics. Please check out the Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association web site. They have a program called Awakening Faith. It is a small group process that meets once a week for 6 weeks. Participants share on various topics such as Spirituality, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Mass, and the Church. There is a short video that explains the program on the web site.
