  The Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux Conference Office annually hosts the Woman of God Conference. As a follow-up to the conference, the office also hosts a yearly mini-conference and bi-monthly gatherings. These events are open to any woman interested in developing or enhancing her relationship with Jesus Christ as well as building community with women of the same Catholic Faith. What is New Evangelization? Archbishop Nikola Eterovic, secretary of the synod of Bishops, explains that because the “new evangelization” is directed at people who are already baptized, the question of conversion doesn’t really arise - in theory, they’re already in the Church. The trick, he said, is to “help them discover the richness they already possess”- and which they don't appreciate, he said, for reasons which “often are not their fault.” In general, Eterovic said, the measure of success of the new evangelization “is not numbers, but quality.” “The new evangelization begins with fostering a deep personal relationship with Christ, not with passing on doctrine, not with baptizing converts.”

The new evangelization is directed to those who have had some contact with and knowledge of Christ - all of us believers who are in need of a deeper or more complete conversion as well as marginal Catholics with little or no formation and education in their faith and those who have fallen away or abandoned their faith altogether.
