Episode notes
Evangelization As Parish Duty
- Austin framed door-to-door ministry as priestly, prophetic, and charitable rooted in canon law and parish responsibility.
- This Catholic method blends prayer, dialogue, and service to reach neighbors "to no less than the faithful."
First Door Led To Real Conversion
- Austin describes his first door knock where prayer led to helping a grieving mother whose son had died by suicide.
- His charity (removing Christmas lights, letters, Easter basket) led her back to Mass while he was still in seminary.
Younger Generations Need Fundamental Gospel
- Younger generations often haven't personally heard the gospel and require starting from basics like God's existence and baptism.
- Most adults are nominally Christian and need invitation and re-formation rather than first-time evangelism.
