The announcement as a dimension of school pastoral

Abstract

This article stems from the program “History and Conceptions of Religious Education”, conducted by the Education and Religion Research Group (IPFER). The research developed and presented here had as a reference a qualitative approach and the bibliographical and documentary method of information
identification was used to recognize the importance of the advertisement in the educational dynamics of the Catholic School. In this aspect we show the characteristic of the announcement with the look of Jesus Christ that makes no distinction, for we are all brothers in Christ, therefore looking, loving and acting like Jesus, the announcement will reach its goal. “The joy of the Gospel always contains the dynamics of the exodus and of the gift, of going out of oneself, of walking and of sowing ever again, of sowing ever further” (EG 21). Within the movement of leaving oneself they establish themselves connections with the culture of mankind and in it are inserted dialogical attitudes, for the advertisement carries within itself the ability to interact with society by welcoming cultural diversity and assuming the mediation of the journey towards the edification of the Kingdom of God. The proclamation of the Gospel requires embodying itself in the culture proper to each space where one wants to evangelize and a space specially prepared for the announcement to take place is the Catholic School, since it meets special conditions by having an audience in search of knowledge as a way of living the truths of science and faith.
