Campaign for ChristLife
Advancing the New Evangelization
ChristLife’s story began with Dave Nodar, a Catholic layman, who during the 1990’s regularly presented
schools of evangelization in Poland and Slovakia for young adult Catholics.
Inspired by the call of Pope John Paul II to a new evangelization, Dave founded ChristLife in 1995 and was recognized by Cardinal Keeler as an apostolate of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
For over 17 years ChristLife has traveled the globe training and equipping dioceses, parishes, and other ministries to advance the new evangelization.
Your gift will help ChristLife advance the new evangelization

Silvana’s Story
“ The only way I can describe myself before Discovering Christ is a Catholic who sat in the pew on Sundays. I stood up, sat down, knelt, took Communion and after Mass ended I went about my life... It was a total cycle on ‘the wheel’ with me trying to do my best to take care of everything and everyone. I was always stressed out and anxious… I thought that I had to ‘do good, be nice to people’ and that would be my ticket into heaven… During Discovering Christ I learned that my Father in Heaven is always there for me, always willing to hold me up. I never knew before, that there was nothing I could do to make Him love me any less! After learning … that He loves me so much that He was willing to die for me, I surrendered my life to Jesus and made Him the Lord of my life.
Your gift enables people like Silvana to experience conversion
Fr. Tom’s story
“ We have people deciding to become Catholic, men gathering to share prayer and reflection on the Sunday Scriptures, a hunger for weekend retreats, and a host of other spiritual activities. Our Catholic faith is more exciting, more vibrant, and more effective in inspiring and attracting others to encounter, follow, and share Christ. Deep friendship cemented by shared faith and prayer is making us the Church God calls us to be. That is why I heartily and joyfully recommend ChristLife… I am a better priest, ours is a better staff,
and the people of St. Polycarp are a holier, more united community of faith because of ChristLife.
