About What We Do
The Evangelical Catholic, in communion with the Catholic Church, labors to inspire effective and sustainable renewal to campus ministries, parishes and dioceses around the country. We strive to make the Church’s mission of evangelization accessible, natural and fruitful for Catholics who want to make a difference in the world for Christ.
The EC Impact
Conferences
The Evangelical Catholic runs conferences that evangelize and catechize college students and recent graduates. EC conferences also regularly provide ministry formation, so that these young adults can help bring renewed life to the campus ministries and dioceses where they serve and worship.
Over 1000 Catholic ministry leaders have attended EC conferences in the last six years. This represents over 80 campus ministries and over 60 parishes. These leaders returned to their ministries inspired and equipped to engage in the mission of evangelization.
Evangelization Training Camps
For five days, campus ministry staff and their student leaders come for intense training in the EC Ministry Model. Leaders build upon the formation and training they received during conferences, seminars and retreats, in preparation for ministry in the fall at their campuses.
Consulting and Partnerships
From our work with existing campus ministries, through conferences, Summer Training Camps and other outreach activities, we sometimes establish consulting relationships, in which we offer ongoing support to staff, working to implement the EC Ministry model. Campuses with whom we have had consulting relationships include Duke, Florida State, Harvard, Niagra University, Sand Diego State, U of Dayton, UNC-Chapel Hill, UW-Green Bay, UW-Madison, and UW-Oshkosh.
Sometimes a campus ministry, parish or diocese wants more direct help and forms a partnership with The Evangelical Catholic. In these cases, the EC assists in identifying a trained EC worker who can work alongside them to implement the EC Ministry model.
The Evangelical Catholic is a not-for-profit 501©3 charitable organization based in Madison, Wisconsin.
