Evangelization

Gospel Meeting

“Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” says St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:16. Following his footsteps, we also preach gospel to various people in and around Tamil Nadu where people are shown the love of God and are helped and encouraged to choose the narrow path that Bible shows.

Have a look at the venues where regular gospel meetings are conducted.

• Every Tuesday (followed by Holy Mass at 6 p.m.)  - Kurichi
• Every Wednesday (followed by Holy Mass at 6:30 p.m.) - St. Michael’s Cathedral
• Every Friday - A special healing prayer is also conducted on the second week of the month  - Ganapathy
• Monthly first Saturday – Aadi street

Lent days meeting

During the Lenten season, the Church calls its faithful to repent of sin, to renew faith and to prepare to celebrate joyfully the mysteries of salvation. This opens us the door for evangelism.  During this season, we conduct gospel meetings, fasting and prayer, and Stations of the Cross in various churches throughout Tamil Nadu to help the Church in its mission of renewing the faith of its faithful.

Baptism

Baptism, which signifies the sacramental washing by which the soul is cleansed from sin by believing in Jesus Christ, is an act that identifies the one who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.  Those non-Christians who had encounter with Jesus during our evangelism and express their desire to follow Christ through Baptism, we help them to receive the sacrament of Baptism from the Church.

Gospel Rally

Pope Saint John Paul II stated “The Church today ought to take a giant step forward in her evangelization effort, and enter into a new stage of history in her missionary dynamism.”  Extracting the essence of this statement and putting it into action realizing the need of the hour, we take the approach of door-to-door evangelism.  Once in every month small teams of our volunteers rally to various places in Coimbatore proclaiming Good News to people.

Coimbatore Catholic Enquiry Centre (CCEC)

 The CCEC, which is a Church’s unit,  imparts hope, comfort and consolation to the people in the holy name of our Lord Jesus through various means like praying with those in need and giving counselling and supporting them mentally through their struggles.  It visits few shrines in Coimbatore, where thousands of people of different faiths visit, to proclaim gospel.  Our team supports CCEC in its evangelization efforts.

Blessed Biz

The psalmist says “My victory and honor come from God alone. (Psalm 62:7)”  Competency requirements are increasing day by day in this competitive world.  However, it is not by might nor by power, but it is God’s Spirit that makes us victorious.  We give spiritual guidance from the Word to make entrepreneurs victorious.

Gentlemen's Gathering

Every Thursday night, a gents gathering is arranged in our office premises, especially for the working people. This is done with an intention to make their tired hearts to grow in spirit. The gathered people share their reflections on the passage given to them, thus enriching their souls.

Gospel to One lakh 

As another approach to evangelism, we distribute a small booklet called “Yesuvin Suya Sarithai” (Jesus’ autobiography) especially to non-Christians to promote the gospel.  Our target is to distribute to at least 1 lakh people every year.

X’Mas Kondattam & New Year Blessing

It is a blissful gathering where we rejoice in the birth of our Saviour and we get delighted in announcing the Good News to people who are unaware of our Saviour, like the angels who announced it to the shepherds. This celebration includes a variety of sessions like songs, dance, skits, special Christmas message, prayer, etc. which proclaims the Good News of Christmas to the people.

It is followed by a special message which discloses the plans of our Lord for the forthcoming year and a prayer to make every individual to seize the blessings from heavenly kingdom.

People leave the place with their hearts filled with the joy of our Saviour’s birth and also with the cherished blessings..
