Rhode Island parishes undertake door-to-door evangelization
CWN – September 06, 2012
With the encouragement of Bishop Thomas Tobin and the assistance of the Legion of Mary, six Rhode Island parishes have undertaken door-to-door evangelization efforts since 2010.
“In total, these days have resulted in the visitation of about 7,500 homes and conversations with some 3,500 people, with about 370 asking for follow-up, such as requests for visiting the homebound, rides to Mass, information on annulments, or how to have their children baptized,” says William Patenaude, a member of the Diocese of Providence’s Committee for Evangelization.

This should be done in every diocese and use all those who have a need to be up on the altar and giving out communion to do this.
I don’t think people who see fit to be “extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion” are going to be the best people to be talking about the Faith to those who don’t have it.
