BISHOPS RELEASE "TEMPLATE FOR PASTORS ON THE EVANGELIZATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN CANADA TODAY: PRAEDICA VERBUM"
This template, titled Praedica Verbum ("Preach the Word") and developed by the Episcopal Commission for Doctrine, is intended as a resource for pastors, officially mandated pastoral agents, and others in the Church who work with young people. Focusing on what the Church calls "the initial proclamation of the Gospel," it is intended to provide helpful information on the how and what of evangelization. The template was developed following consultations with numerous Catholic organizations in Canada engaged in the evangelization of young people.
