In 1977 the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle (the Paulist Fathers) established the US Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association (PNCEA) with the stated mission of equipping Catholics to evangelize, that is, to preach the gospel. PNCEA: *Educates clergy, religious and laity to evangelize. *Produces relevant publications and programs. *Providing training programs and resources to equip Catholics for evangelism. *Providing evangelization consulting services to dioceses and parishes. == Founder == Fr. Alvin A. Illig, CSP, established the Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association as an apostolate arm of the Paulist Fathers. Illig served as the director from 1977 to 1991 and as the first Executive Director of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Evangelization from 1977 to 1982. In 1983 Pope John Paul II awarded Illig with the Pro Ecclesia et Pontiface medal for his service to the Bishops’ Committee on Evangelization. During his time at PNCEA, Illig focused on evangelization to inactive Catholics and the Americans without religious affiliation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
