PARTICIPANTS
 "I
can certainly appreciate the importance of courses on evangelization... I want to commend
all of you... I am glad Fr. Pable's course is so helpful... I thank you for your deep
spiritual commitment and love for the Church".
Cardinal Adam J. Maida
Former Archbishop of Detroit
June 1994
 "I
have known Ms. Sandra McConnell for the past seven years. I know her to be deeply devoted
to God and her faith. I personally taught her a course in one-to-one evangelization and
trained her to become a teacher herself. Under my direction she went on to develop her own
manual and other helpful resources for teaching the course to others... I would have
confidence in her ability to teach the course".
Fr. Marty Pable, OFM Capuchin
Marathon, WI March 2000
Dear Cardinal Maida, ... November was a great
month. We invited Sandy McConnell SFO, from the Capuchin Retreat House and Marcella S.
Langwerowski SFO, to come and give their evangelization program on four Thursday nights...
there were around 30 people in the parish from all seven decades in age, teens through
seventies and each from a different social setting... They were set on fire. Fr. Dan
Havron came in January to guide the group into committee work".

"I keep getting more and more out of
these classes; it makes me realize that we are all called to do Gods work".

"We must spread the Gospel with
others".
Gloria Atkinson

"I will probably use the information from
this class in Evangelizing to my friends, family members and peers. I learned how to
evangelize to people in my everyday life and my religious life. (Church). I would
recommend this program to others because the more people that learn how to evangelize and
use it in their everyday life by teaching others the more people will learn about God and
Jesus".

"I would really like to see many others
go over this class. The problem is too many that think they are doing enough - Put a flame
there!"
Mary Gibson
Ascension Parish
Warren, MI May 2000
"I learned the importance of sharing my
faith story and listening".
Becky Jaynes

"I would like this program taught in our
parish this year".
Sr. Joann F. Weigang, O.P.
St. Gertrude's Parish
St. Clair Shores, MI February 1997
"The course went beyond my
expectations... The material was well organized, practical and intelligible in its
presentation... I appreciated the opportunities we were given for group exchange. The
presenters generated enthusiasm in their audience... I found the presentations well done,
and I would recommend the program to others. There were the ingredients of faith, courage
and enthusiasm with some fun mixed in. Neither boring nor stultifying, it kept my
attention".
Fr. Harry Speckman, OFM
Pastor of Indian River Shrine
Indian River, MI June 2000
"We would recommended this course to our
parish so they would understand more about Evangelization".
