St. Paul Inside the Walls welcomes people home to Christ and to Holy Mother Church through promotion of the New Evangelization. We seek to:
• re-evangelize and re-energize those already active in their faith
• re-evangelize and welcome home those who no longer practice their faith
• reach out to those of no faith tradition
We educate and train in Scripture and Tradition by:
• training evangelization coordinators to ensure coverage of all parishes
• creating educational opportunities for catechists who regularly encounter parishioners
• offering additional resources for priests, deacons and religious
• developing formation opportunities for lay Catholics
We send forth disciples of the New Evangelization through:
• connecting returning Catholics to a parish community
• matching the gifts and talents of those who have been educated and trained in Scripture and Tradition with the needs of all Catholic institutions within our diocese
• encouraging the pursuit of advanced degrees in diverse fields of theology
