"Pass It On"

Evangelisation Training

Alongside the book by Michelle Moran and the video series produced by Catholic Evangelisation Services, "Pass It On", the course is an ideal way to develop skills and relationship in a group setting.

This practical weekend course, run on demand, helps its participants grow in confidence by showing them how to share their faith with others and equips them for the task of 'one to one' evangelisation.

Successful candidates go on to form the nucleus of our Parish Mission Volunteer Visitors. This course is a core part of parish mission preparation or follow-up.

"The word of their testimony" Lk10:2

Michael Davidson did the Pass it On course a couple of years ago and thoroughly recommends it. He comments:

"We learnt how to give a three minute testimony about something great God has done in our lives or how we came to faith in Him. We also learnt the four basic truths of the core Gospel and how to share them and other tips on how to evangelise Catholics."

"Pass It On"

book by Michelle Moran

"Christianity and the Churches do not need any new message. The story Christians have told during these 2000 years is always the same. We proclaim the life, death and resurrection of Jesus - his unconditional love and his call to repentance. We are made by him and for him and Christ becomes the lens through which we see life.

I warmly commend Michelle's book 'Pass It On' - she speaks out of her own experience and as a strong witness to the Gospel. May it serve to influence hearts and minds so that the Gospel may live again in our land."

Rt. Rev. Thomas McMahon
Bishop of Brentwood
