Abstract

This paper outlines the significant roles of the laity in the evangelizing mission of the Catholic Church. Considering the context of the contemporary times, this paper underscores the challenges faced by the Laity and proposes points for action-reflection as a vision for the future of the Philippine Church. Delving into various Biblical texts and Church documents, this paper argues that amidst the adverse effects of globalization, the laity remains an indispensable agent of evangelization.
