How-To Guides
Catholic Answers make evangelization easy. One way we do that is by sharing ways we are working together with parishes, diocese, ministries, and other groups. Here’s one way we worked with the Archdiocese of San Francisco during the Eucharistic Revival.
Co-Workers in the Vineyard: The Archdiocese of San Francisco
Long known for our desire to work hand-in-hand with as many other organizations in the Lord’s vineyard as possible, Catholic Answers has been collaborating with the Archdiocese of San Francisco in several ways the past few years. The relationship was first initiated after a presentation by Catholic Answers president Christopher Check and Chief Operating Officer Jon Sorensen to the archdiocesan chancery in December 2022.
Today, this partnership includes Catholic Answers content shared in every issue of Catholic San Francisco magazine—including everything from Catholic Answers Q&A, Catholic Answers book excerpts, and even Catholic Answers-developed crossword puzzles. It has also featured 3,000 copies of Why We’re Pro-Life handed out during the West Coast “Walk for Life,” more than 50,000 copies of Catholic Answers books distributed in both English and Spanish, and CA booklets and pamphlets given out at archdiocesan parish events associated with Christmas and Easter Masses, Eucharistic Congress events, and Rosary Rallies. There is also a joint writing project with Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone in the works, and the Catholic Answers Studios team has been consulting the archdiocese in the design and building of a new recording studio. Soon, apologist Joe Heschmeyer will be the featured guest speaker at the archdiocese’s Catholic School Convocation in the spring of 2024.
Peter Marlow, director of communications for the archdiocese and a great friend to the apostolate, said recently,
“Every engagement with Catholic Answers here at the Archdiocese of San Francisco deeply enriches our archdiocese.”
All of us at Catholic Answers are excited for the continued growth of this partnership, and we hope that it can serve as a model for other diocesan collaborations, some of which (like our relationship with the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma) are already underway. We are especially grateful to Archbishop Cordileone for welcoming our joining together with the Archdiocese of San Francisco and for his desire to work together with us to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
