Disciples in Mission
is a proven and effective ministry that fosters parish-based evangelization. Parishioners who participate experience spiritual renewal and a greater commitment to share the Gospel.

Over 2,000,000 Catholics in over 2,900 parishes across the United States have benefited from Disciples in Mission since 1996. Until 2004, all parishes participated in Disciples in Mission as part of arch/diocesan commitments.

On July 1, 2004, Disciples in Mission became available to all parishes directly.
