April Witness

Listening for God

Erica Seelman never planned to become Catholic…  However, God revealed a different plan, as she felt an unexpected pull towards the depth and beauty of Catholicism.  CEO invites you to listen to her journey of reflection, hesitation, prayer, and study, ultimately leading to Erica’s conversion to the Catholic faith.

March Witness

Not My Will, But Thy Will, Lord

Paul Brundell’s life was motivated by “worldly achievements”.  He worked seven days a week to help achieve his goals. His life was totally out of balance with God.  With God’s mercy, Paul’s eyes were opened by events that showed him how he had kept God far away through all of his busyness. Paul will share these moments of how the tender hand of God  brought him to a life in balance…with God being first.

Saint Wenceslaus Catholic Church on Thursday, March 14th.  6:30 – 8:00pm.

The event is FREE and ALL are welcome.  Refreshments will be served.  Childcare is not available.

Who we are... Catholic Evangelization Outreach

Catholic Evangelization really isn’t as oxymoronic as it might sound! After all we have been evangelizing since Jesus sent his disciples “to proclaim the kingdom of God.” We are simply friends talking with friends and sharing our own, personal witness of Jesus Christ. How we have come to know Him and how He continues to be part of our lives.

February Witness

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me

Come hear Matt Canfield share three powerful moments when God manifested in his life: A dream from the Blessed Virgin, A waking vision from Jesus,  A word from the Holy Spirit.  These all occurred while struggling through a long period of spiritual brokenness that led Matt to true humility and total reliance on Jesus’ mercy.

Saint Matthew Catholic Church on Monday, February 12th.  6:30 – 8:30pm.

The event is FREE and ALL are welcome.  A light meal will be served.  Childcare is not available.

January Witness

He Answered Me

On a cold December morning in 1974, Randy Millsap prayed a short simple prayer out of frustration and despair, to Jesus.  Astonishingly, the answer came back almost immediately. The answer left a deep and lasting impact. Some might say it was a miracle.  Come and learn how the answer to Randy’s prayer, on a blustery winter morning from years ago, continues to be impactful to this day

Saint Jude Catholic Church on Tuesday, January 16th.  6:00 – 7:30pm.
