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.

“Carlyle is not a seer, but a brave looker-on and reviewer; not the most free and catholic observer of men and events, for they are likely to find him preoccupied, but unexpectedly free and catholic when they fall within the focus of his lens.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.”
