The Office of Evangelization and Catechesis (OEC) exists to support the Bishop of Madison in his mission to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to every heart across the diocese. Guided by the vision that “everyone in the diocese would hear every day a loving and gentle invitation to meet Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, in a life-changing way,” the OEC offers dynamic programs, resources, and formation to help individuals, families, and parishes grow as disciples.

Through youth events, adult faith formation, parish leadership support, marriage preparation, family ministry, and more, the OEC walks with Catholics of all ages and backgrounds on the journey of faith. Our goal is to inspire deeper relationship with Christ and equip the faithful for joyful, lifelong discipleship.
