Yes, The BISHOP will be able to manage the Go FISH Global “net” across his diocese.
Yes, Go FISH Global must be approved by your local parish pastor.
Yes, the PASTOR’S will be able to manage the Go FISH Global “net” across his parish.
The Go FISH Global content on the website is controlled by Go FISH Global Headquarters, however, the bishop can take all resources found on the Go FISH Global website, and adjust them to meet his needs. He can even remove the words Go FISH Global from all resources found on gofishglobal.org.
If you are not ready to evangelize, there are other important roles available for you!
Go FISH Global has pragmatic methods to bring people back to the Catholic Church, despite the ominous anti-religion propaganda machine!
Our spiritual aids help you carry Christ in your heart, so that He can evangelize through you!
We have (or point you to) responses to people’s questions.
Go FISH Global’s “GO ALL OUT” methods help you confront the secularization of our students from Kindergarten through College, and on adults of all ages.
Our two main training presentations and helpful missionaries train unprepared Catholics quickly.
If not interested in the Go FISH Global methods found on the training presentations, you can find other local methods or others from around the world.
The contact information for Evangelization organizations from around the world are also listed so you can compare notes, ask for advice, give each other encouragement, and even team up!
If those methods do not suit you, use your own methods! …as long as they are in line with the teachings of the Church and ok with your local bishop and pastor.
Inspire people to join you using techniques in our training presentations and other resources!
We help you motivate the highest number of Catholics within a diocese, parish or group to perform outreach and evangelization! We also help you keep the outreach efforts alive.
Our system is designed to keep people motivated over time. It is a marathon not a sprint!
A diocesan team called “The Port” will be recruited to do outreach & evangelization training.
“Docks” will be recruited to train parishioners and to support them at parishes and groups.
Formation - people can learn about our faith on the formation section of our website. Your bishop can control the content by moving our resources to his website. If our training is insufficient, GoFISHGlobal.org points you elsewhere!
Keep evangelization consistent throughout the year via the motivating “Docks”.
Parish evangelization crews can carry out schedules they feel are achievable. Some Dock members are in charge of recruiting new evangelists.
Poor parishes can afford GoFISHGlobal training and resources because they are FREE!
Let us help you inspire new people to join the effort!
Our “Burnout Mechanism” helps you avoid burnout! If it happens, mechanism charitably relieves the burned out of their duties – temporarily or permanently.
Offer the un-churched a home that is perfect for them specifically, using the Ministry Finder Website a key tool of the Go FISH Global model.
Retain those you invite to get to know our faith using Go FISH Global’s Welcoming Events!
Follow up is done by those who are not ready to evangelize…the “Shippers”!
Go FISH Global is a resource. It is not a group. You won’t lose members to Go FISH Global! We are here to help you increase you membership, not to take your members from you! (Exception: Go FISH Global recruits people for its Headquarter missions. Typically, they are not members of groups.)
If you wish to work alone without a group, that is ok! Some people are just not group minded. We encourage you to use our resources or your own; making sure everything is bishop and pastor approved, and we are grateful you want to take action!

FLEXIBILITY

Go FISH Global prayerfully comes up with solutions to every challenge that has even been posed to us! Please contact us for prayer and to discuss possible solutions to overcome the challenges within your diocese, parish or group!
