The mission of the Office of Evangelization & Catechesis is to provide training and formation to catechists so they can fulfill the Great Commission and effectively transmit the Catholic faith in accordance with the magisterium under the direction of the archbishop. 

The mission of the Church is to save souls by reaching out to all people with the gospel of Jesus Christ, leading them into the fullness of faith in the Holy Catholic Church.

 "The task of evangelizing all people," Pope Paul VI said, "contitutes the essential mission of the Church."
