Workshop Description
Evangelisation is the part of the mission of the Church, but how do we evangelise young people effectively in a fast, ever changing society? In this workshop we will discuss our call, and the key elements we need to evangelise effectively in our current culture, just as effectively as St. Andrew did in Matthew 4 in his time.
