Episode 12: Fr. Fred Boni & Evangelizing the Unchurched

Listen as a podcast.

Meet Fr. Fred Boni. Daphne native. Grew up at Christ the King parish and school. Attended McGill-Toolen and then Spring Hill College. Was on the cusp of entering medical school and felt called to enter the seminary. Now pastor at St. Catherine of Sienna in mid-town Mobile. Listen in to Fr. Boni’s heart for the unchurched and the creative ways he is employing to try to bring renewal to his very diverse parish.

Dig In Further:

What is the mission of a parish? Are their ways your parish could be more focused on “making disciples”…of reaching the unchurched…on evangelization?

What is one idea you hear Fr. Boni talk about that resonated with you? Pray about it. See if it might be worth talking to you pastor about incorporating this idea into his vision for your parish.

Is there a ministry in your Church for the “unchurched?” If not, might it be worth looking into “Alpha,” the program mentioned by Fr. Boni? If not Alpha, what can you and your fellow parishioners do to help people not in the pews feel welcomed at your parish and challenged to consider the beauty of being Catholic?
