During Lent, it will be seen on various social media, Catholic television and internet channels, as well as Catholic diocesan webpages from all over the globe.

While the topics of each video range from insightful theological points to encouragement for one’s Lenten observance, all are meant to meet the baptized wherever they are at in the spiritual life. The length, the topic, as well as the ‘feel’ of the videos were all carefully prepared to help pastors and leaders in the Church to assist the people under their care; and it is the hope of all Evango team members that this happens. -- Patrick Sullivan is all about evangelization.
