Mission of the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis (OEC)
The Office of Evangelization and Catechesis exists to aid the Bishop of Madison in fulfilling his mission of proclaiming and teaching the good news of Jesus Christ. He articulates the vision as follows: "Our goal is that everyone in the diocese would hear everyday a loving and gentle invitation to meet Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, in a life changing way."
"To defend the truth, to articulate it with humility and conviction, and to bear witness to it in life are therefore exacting and indispensable forms of charity" (Pope Benedict XVI, Caritas in Veritate, art. 1).
