*Friends, in our Gospel today, Jesus sends the Apostles on a mission of
evangelization, a mission that we continue today.We Catholics cannot avoid
the demand of evangelization, of proclaiming the faith. Vatican II couldn’t
be clearer on this score, seeing the Church itself as nothing but a vehicle
for evangelization. According to Vatican II, it’s not so much the case that
the Church has a mission, *but* rather *that



* a mission has the Church. Bringing people to Christ is not one work among
many; rather, it is the central work of the Church, that around which
everything else we do revolves. Do we need evangelization? The statistics
couldn’t be clearer. Did you know that the fastest-growing “religious”
group in the United States is the “nones”—that is, those who claim no
religious affiliation? In the latest Pew Research Center survey, fully 25
percent of the country—80 million people—say that they have no formal
religion. When we focus on young people, the picture is even more bleak.
Almost 40 percent of those under thirty are nones, and among Catholics in
that age group, the number rises to 50 percent. Of all the Catholic
children baptized or confirmed these last thirty years, half no longer
participate in the life of the Church.We need evangelization more than ever
before. Will you answer the call?*
