Masterclasses – CG Evangelisation

Masterclass Series

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..."
- Matt 28:19

As part of our evangelisation strategy for the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn, we have developed a masterclass series to help our young and emerging leaders engage effectively in their parish communities. This is part of our work to raise up a new generation in the life and mission of the Church

As an Archdiocese, we seek to invite all people to discover and develop a relationship with Jesus in the context of His Church.

We affirm that “evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize,… ” (Evangelii Nuntiandi, 14)

Our hope is that this Masterclass Series will equip youth and young adult leaders, including Parish Youth Coordinators, to realise the aspirations of this call of evangelisation across our Archdiocesan community.

All the Gospel, to all the world, all the time.
