In 1977, the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle (the Paulist Fathers) established the Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association (PNCEA). Its mission then and now is to equip Catholics to evangelize, that is, to witness to and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.
PNCEA carries out its mission by:
- Raising awareness and educating clergy, religious and laity for the evangelizing mission of the Church.
- Producing contemporary publications and programs for sharing the Gospel.
- Offering training programs and resources to equip Catholics for effective evangelization.
- Providing evangelization consulting services to dioceses and parishes.

“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
