Paulist Evangelization Ministries (PEM) established in 2009 had as its mission to develop effective methods for inviting people to believe in Jesus Christ as Catholics as well as to invite Catholics to become active again. PEM's mission was to equip Catholics with the tools to further this invitation. Thus, the mission quote, “Reaching the Unreached in Faith†was created. In consultation with the Paulist Fathers, Paulist Press will now carry forth that mission and distribute PEM's resources effective immediately. These resources can now be found on our Paulist Press website. There is a wide variety of resources to help your parish reach out to those who want to learn more about the Catholic faith. We invite you to view a few of these resources noted below.

Faith in Action provides discussion and sharing material for six sessions—all of them focused on the social teachings of the Church. Through sharing, conversation, and prayer parishioners will come to a deeper appreciation of the social teachings of the Church—and how they can transform our lives and our world. With discussion questions, prayer, and references for further reading in fundamental church documents, these inexpensive booklets will help further many Catholic goals.
Beyond the Pews helps everyday Catholics grow as disciples and missionaries through ten practical, easy-to-follow units. Using Scripture, real-life pastoral situations, and simple exercises, participants build confidence in sharing their faith and inviting others into a deeper relationship with God and the Church.
