Reflect the light of Christ:
Evangelization and parish mission

MADISON -- Learning about reflecting the light of Christ was what 238 people focused on when they attended the Diocese of Madison's Parish Leadership Day Sept. 12 at the Bishop O'Connor Catholic Pastoral Center here.

The day began with a prayer service at which Bishop William H. Bullock presided.

"Fresh from yesterday's anniversary, we've learned two realities: our war toys work beautifully and that measure of violence has not brought us peace," said Bullock.

It is in this world we gather and strive to reflect the light of Christ, he said. "We've come to learn that our faith must be strong, clear, and articulated simply and directly. One of the things youth are good at is detecting sincerity. They know if we are sincere and active believers.

"The workshops today reflect the light of Christ in many different and beautiful ways," said the bishop.
