“The new evangelization, which we hear so much about today . . . is not necessarily about making converts from outside but rather revitalizing the members of the Church inside and leading them to know Jesus intimately . . . then and only then can we bring in others who have never known Jesus Christ.” Bishop Nicholas Samra, Steward of the Mysteries.
In answer to Bishop Nicholas Samra’s vision for the revitalization of our Church from the inside, the Office of Educational Services is now offering regular educational opportunities for adults throughout the United States. These opportunities are offered locally at Melkite churches and on-line via our live broadcast studio. Regardless of where you live or the difficulties with your busy schedule, we have something that will work for you! Live in-person, live on-line, prerecorded on-demand–you name it and we will be there for you. And all programs are open to the public and offered free of charge! Following Bishop Nicholas’ directives that “we need to re-focus on religious education especially for the adults from whom the youth learn,” the Office of Educational Services has prepared a full schedule of educational opportunities (posted below) to meet your educational needs.
Join us, learn your faith and grow in your love for Christ and his Church!
