For many years, we've watched society fall further and further away from God and our culture lose the anchor that faith provides. We've wondered what we can do to stop this downward spiral to oblivion. How do we become the apostles that we are all called to be? For many of us, we can start in our own homes and in our neighborhood. Many of those that have left the faith are our family and our friends. For many, if not most, it's not that they don't believe in God, it's that they don't think Church is necessary.
They haven't lost faith; they've lost interest. They don't see a reason to put forth an effort. They don't appreciate the miraculous truth of the Holy Catholic Church, the Sacrifice of the Mass and the mystery of the Holy Eucharist.
How can we evangelize our children, relatives and friends to reignite their interest in God and His Church without pushing them even further from God?
To help answer this challenge, we have developed a tri-fold brochure to help us evangelize and encourage our relatives and friends so that they might realize the joy and peace that they can find through Catholic Church and the Catholic Mass.
In each pew of St. James, you will find these brochures describing the mystery and majesty of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Please take as many as you like to share with family and friends. Encourage them to read the brochure. Encourage them to come to the Mass.
