To: Our Friends in the Federation of National Youth Organizations:
May the Peace of Christ be with you!
Last July 9, 2012, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) issued a Pastoral Letter on the Era of New Evangelization. Entitled “Live Christ, Share Christ,” it declared a 9-year novena of the Philippine Church leading to March 16, 2021, the fifth centenary of the coming of the Catholic faith in the country. This 2019, we celebrate “Filipino Youth in Mission: Beloved, Gifted, Empowered” aiming to produce youth who are committed to families, to the Church and to the country with a renewed passion to proclaim the Word, ready to work with their communities and the Church, and willing to share in molding a just and peaceful world through missionary involvement
In response to the call to new evangelization, The Live Christ, Share Christ (LCSC) intends to mainstream Catholic lay evangelization especially in this Year of the Youth.
In line with this, we are pleased to invite you to the New Evangelization Conference 2019 (NEC 2019) happening in three consecutive places: in Luzon this June 8, 2019, at the PICC Forum, Pasay City from 8AM to 5PM; Visayas on August in Bohol; and Mindanao on September in Cagayan de Oro. These are a free-admission event.
On its sixth year, we aim to gather at least 7,000 people to be part of this momentous event. There will be a Catholic Expo and Marian Exhibit, a Clarion Call competitions for band, choir, and song writing, and the annual Catholic New Evangelization Awards (CNEA). With this, we are extending this invitation to you, to participate and support this event by helping spread the word and inviting everyone to celebrate with us.

For further inquiries, please call (02) 726-7989 and look for Ms. Hope Reyes. We look forward to your favorable response. Thank you and God bless!
