March Witness - Mitzi

“It costs to follow God. But it costs more not to.”

At an early age, Mitzi drifted away from God. She found herself toggling between a life of worship and a life of sin, until one chilling night set her back on the path to Jesus Christ.

We are excited to start a new season of CRCEO.  A new season means powerful witnesses, plus the opportunity to bring your own story to someone who may be struggling with their faith journey.   As we know from scripture, “The Harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few”.  Your witness can make the difference.  Please use the Contact Us menu selection (above) to share your story.

Who we are...

Catholic Evangelization really isn’t as oxymoronic as it might sound! After all we have been evangelizing since Jesus sent his disciples “to proclaim the kingdom of God.” We are simply friends talking with friends and sharing our own, personal witness of Jesus Christ. How we have come to know Him and how He continues to be part of our lives.

Welcome to CR CEO
We invite you to join us at any of our events, or to visit our parishes here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
