Faith Formation & Evangelization

- Welcome
  
  The office of Faith Formation and Evangelization was established to provide for the Diocese of Grand Island- support, direction, and opportunities for every person to encounter Jesus Christ in their lives and to sustain and deepen that encounter through ongoing formation.
  
  "We evangelize not with grand words, or complicated concepts, but with the joy of the Gospel which fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus."
  Pope Francis

- Catechist Formation As a diocese we’re called on a mission to lead others into an encounter with Christ. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways and in a unique way through catechesis. In order to equip those that serve as catechist for such a task, they need to be empowered and the grace within them needs to be stirred.
