Department of Evangelization

Rev. John Hurley, CSP, Executive Director

Vision Statement

The Department for Evangelization of the Archdiocese of Baltimore seeks to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ into every human situation, attentive to the signs of the times, through the service of pastoral leaders and all Catholics.

Mission Statement

The Department for Evangelization builds upon the rich Catholic legacy of faith in the Premier See by cherishing her religious, cultural, geographic and generational diversity. We collaborate with pastoral leaders and various ministries to: bring about in all Catholics in the archdiocese such an enthusiasm for their faith that, in living their faith in Jesus, they freely share it with others; invite all people in the archdiocese, whatever their economic, social or cultural background, to hear the message of salvation in Jesus Christ so they may come to join us in the fullness of the Catholic faith; foster gospel values by promoting the dignity of the human person, especially persons experiencing poverty and marginalization; celebrating the richness of diversity among God’s people; upholding the common good and the importance of the family, so that our society may continue to be transformed by the saving power of Jesus Christ.
