From Practicing Catholics to Apostles on Mission Online CourseFrom Practicing Catholics to Apostles on Mission is a formation program created by the Catholic Apostolate Center that forms Catholics in pastoral and theological training in order to answer the call to be missionary disciples in the work of the New Evangelization. From the liturgy and sacraments to vocational discernment and parish ministry, Apostles on Mission equips Catholics with the tools to go deeper in their faith and live out their mission within the world today. Through the program, participants strengthen their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church through discovering their gifts, learn about the Church’s mission of evangelization, and implement their formation in concrete ways within their parishes or communities.
In continuation of our celebration of 10th anniversary year, the Center is pleased to announce the release of a completely asynchronous and on-demand online course to make Apostles on Mission accessible to Catholics all over the globe. The interactive online course includes 10 modules with videos, lesson guides, reading material, and activities to bring the Apostles on Mission formation experience directly to your home computer or laptop.

Evangelii Gaudium: Moving the Church from Maintenance to Mission
In his apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis invites all to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. We are not to keep the faith to ourselves, but are sent as missionary disciples to transform the world to Christ. We are all called to be Spirit-filled disciples, not in a maintenance mode but rather a missionary one (Evangelii Gaudium,118-120,259-262). How can we accomplish this call to be a missionary disciple today?
