About the New Evangelization
 In his encyclical Mission of the Redeemer, Pope John Paul II has challenged all Catholics and all Catholic apostolates to commit their resources to a "New Evangelization" of the Church and the world.
Sacred Heart has embraced the Holy Father's challenge to participate in this critical missionary mandate. In the fall of 2004, we began offering a new post-graduate degree in pastoral theology: a Licentiate in Sacred Theology (STL) with a specialization in the New Evangelization. We also customized our MA Theology and MA Pastoral Studies programs to include coursework leading to concentrations in the New Evangelization.Program Offerings in the New Evangelization
 The goal of all three programs is to form "new evangelists"—Catholics formed in mind and spirit to bring Christ in a fresh way to our increasingly secularized culture.
The innovative STL program is the first of its kind in the United States. Students receive thorough training in modern methods of evangelization, along with courses in Christian anthropology, Catholic social analysis and spirituality. Graduates of the program—priest, religious and laity alike—will be prepared to lead efforts in the New Evangelization in their parishes, dioceses or ministries. They will also be prepared to teach at Catholic seminaries and universities.
