The office of New Evangelization and Parish Life (ONEPL) has cast a vision of Evangelization for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Our vision is that through their evangelizing opportunities, we continue to foster synodality among the Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Resources and support will go to continuing the efforts that this office is providing in the Archdiocese.
2 offerings per year
The Missionary Discipleship Pathway is a series of evangelizing experiences for any adult who is curious about Jesus or seeking to deepen their relationship with Him. You can participate in one or all three virtual experiences (available in English & Spanish).
HOW DOES SOMEONE BECOME A MISSIONARY DISCIPLES?
The process is a journey through three stages: HEAR ~ GIVE ~ GO
To Hear Jesus’ Call to be His Disciple
The symbol of the boat represents the first stage in becoming a missionary disciple. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus invites individuals to be his disciples: “Follow me.” The symbol of the boat reminds us that Jesus comes to us wherever we are in life and calls us each by name to follow him and enter a new way of life.
To Give your entire life over to Jesus as His disciple
The symbol of the net represents the second stage in becoming a missionary disciple. TheGospel Mark says, “they abandoned their nets and followed him.” The symbol of the net reminds us that being a disciple means dropping our nets – leaving behind our former self and making a deliberate decision to surrender the whole of our life to Jesus and to walk with Him.
To Go and make disciples of Jesus
The symbol of the fish represents the third stage in becoming a missionary disciple. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus promises, “I will make you fishers of men.” The symbol of the fish reminds us that we are sent into the world to make disciples of Jesus.
