EXPLORING THE NEW EVANGELIZATION
In his August 2010 pastoral letter, Disciples of the Lord: Sharing the Vision, Cardinal Donald Wuerl
invites Catholics to renew and reinvigorate their own faith and then to invite others whose faith has
grown stale to reconnect and rediscover Christ. Pope Benedict XVI calls this invitation a “reproposing”
of our faith and the “New Evangelization.”
