Do You Know?<br />
For the next few weeks, our question will come from the book Rediscover Catholicism. You have to read the book to<br />
fi nd the answer.<br />
Th is week’s question: According to Matthew Kelly, what are the four steps for evangelization?<br />
Answer to last week’s question: What does Matthew Kelly feel we need to focus on in order for the Church to thrive<br />
and grow and for us to be more spiritual people? Kelly believes the enemy <strong>of</strong> the Church is ignorance and indiff erence. He<br />
feels education in the faith is paramount. He also believes that WE need to become evangelizers. We need to bring others<br />
to Christ. He also writes that we all need to fi nd our vocation in life and challenge young people to consider a vocation to<br />
the priesthood or religious life.<br />
