A Sacred Duty: Why Every Catholic Must Answer the Call to Evangelize

Free World Class Education
FREE Catholic Classes

In a world increasingly consumed by materialism, division, and spiritual confusion, one truth remains eternal: the message of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As Catholics, we are not merely encouraged to share this message - we are obligated to do so. This obligation is not something distant or abstract; it is a direct command from Christ Himself.

In the Gospel of Matthew (28:19-20), Jesus gave us the Great Commission: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." These words are not just meant for the apostles. They are meant for you, for me, for every single baptized Catholic.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church clearly teaches that evangelization is the responsibility of every believer. Whether we preach openly, live out our faith in daily life, or support the Church's missionary efforts, we are called to witness to the love and truth of Christ in everything we do. Every baptized person is entrusted with this sacred mission.

Yet, so many of us ask ourselves: How can I, with my limited time and resources, fulfill this duty?

The answer is at your fingertips. Catholic Online School has built a revolutionary platform--a global tool for evangelization unlike any other in the history of the Church. With over 1.3 million students enrolled in 193 countries and more than 7,000 video lessons available, Catholic Online School is teaching the faith, proclaiming the Gospel, and spreading the Word of God across every corner of the globe.

Through the power of the internet, we are now able to fulfill the command of Christ in ways that were unimaginable even a few decades ago. Our online school reaches students from rural villages to bustling cities, from every walk of life. Whether they are lifelong Catholics or new converts, each student is brought closer to Christ through the work we do. This is the Great Commission in action.

But there is more work to be done.

With this great tool comes great responsibility. While the reach of Catholic Online School is vast, we are only able to continue our mission through the generosity of the faithful. It is here that your obligation to evangelize meets the needs of the Church today.

The Church has given you the tools; now it's time for you to take action.

By supporting Catholic Online School, you are directly participating in the mission to bring Christ's message to the world. Your financial contribution ensures that we continue to produce more lessons, reach more students, and build a global community rooted in faith. Every dollar you give is an act of evangelization. Every contribution helps fulfill the Great Commission.

Think about the impact your donation can have. You are not just supporting a school; you are empowering an instrument of God's will, bringing hope, truth, and salvation to millions. Can you imagine a greater calling? Can you turn away from this sacred duty?

This is not a request--it is a call. A call to fulfill the mission Christ has given to you, to every baptized Catholic, to evangelize the world. Catholic Online School is your tool to make that happen. But we need your support. Now, more than ever, we need Catholics to step forward and answer the call.

Will you join us in spreading the Gospel? Will you answer Christ's command?

The time is now. The mission is urgent. The world needs to hear the message of Christ, and together, we can make that happen.
