Apostles on Mission begins by reflecting upon the participant ’ s encounter with Christ , and where He might be calling them to move forward ; this ongoing encounter with Jesus is at the heart of the program . Over the course of ten weeks , participants are asked to build an evangelization start-up based on their individual charisms , gifts , and on the needs of the community . They are assisted by a mentor and facilitator who help them discern which steps need to be taken next .
Roughly 90 % of participants are able to use their formation experience in some practical initiative . We have seen how Apostles on Mission helps lay women and men develop a sense of vocation and mission at home , in the parish , and in the world . By not focusing on lectures but instead focusing on motivating young adults and creating leaders , Apostles on Mission builds the Church from the ground up . According to one past participant , the program “ made me comfortable in openly speaking about my faith in all areas of my life .”
By implementing From Practicing Catholics to Apostles on Mission in your diocese or ministry , we can grow your community of Apostles and Missionary Disciples together .

The love of our Lord Jesus Christ urges everyone to the work of the apostolate so that they may receive the honorable title ‘ apostle ’.
