formation and religious education for people of all ages.

worship, ministry, and community-building for the people of
God including parish religious education for children,
youth, adults, youth ministry, RCIA and campus ministry.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIOCESAN
DIRECTOR
The Office of Religious Education
and Evangelization is committed to ensuring the proclamation
of the Gospel in the Diocese of Brooklyn so that faith may be
planted, nurtured and challenged to grow. In keeping
with the mandates of the Church since the Second Vatican
Council, the Office promotes the life-long education of all
Catholics in the faith – children, youth, young adults and
adults. The staff of the Office provides the leadership,
training and support to parish catechetical leaders to help
them in their efforts “to make disciples, to help people
believe that Jesus is the Son of God so that believing they
might have life in his name, and to educate and instruct them
in this life, thus building up the body of Christ” (Catechism
of the Catholic Church 4). We ask God to bless our
efforts.
