"A new evangelization is needed that takes into account our post-immigrant, post-seminary situation. It will necessarily be focused on creating a faith that is based more on a personal encounter with the living Jesus Christ than upon any ethnic or social factors. Given the powerful experience of the Catholicism of our youth, we, the Church in Canada, approach this task with much hope."
