We are in St. Louis whose arch
was a gateway to the west...
In his dedication speech, Hubert
Humphrey proclaimed the arch “a
soaring curve in the sky that links the
rich heritage of yesterday with the richer
future of tomorrow” and brings a “new
purpose” and a “new sense of urgency…".
New Evangelization… “new in its
ardor, methods and expression”,
A “Gateway to Mission“…
grounded in our “rich heritage of yesterday”
with new “ardor, methods and expression”.
creating a “richer future of tomorrow”
where the people of God have “renewed
energy and confidence in their faith rooted in
a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, an
increased knowledge of the Faith, a greater
participation in the sacramental life of the
Church, and a stronger commitment to be
active disciples.” (USCCB Strategic Plan)
