There, Franciscan missionaries brought the Christian faith to Native cultures, who embraced it as the fulfillment of their beliefs and died trying to defend it from Protestant invaders.Join us for a conversation with Dr. Mary Soha, vice-postulator for the Canonization Cause of the Florida Martyrs, as she discusses the New Evangelization in the context of Native American communities and the lessons that we can take for the New Evangelization today. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/washington/the-martyrs-of-la-florida-lessons-on-the-new-evangelization/100001766532138179 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Washington - **state**: DC - **country**: United States - **location**: Saint John Paul II National Shrine - **lat**: 38.937784 - **long**: -77.00488000000001 - **full address**: Saint John Paul II National Shrine, 3900 Harewood Road Northeast, Washington, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Martyrs of La Florida: Lessons On The New Evangelization - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a4004a27692e59bd11ad1e006778388c174ed5e71902fcd637a933f74b92d0fa-rimg-w1200-h1646-dcdbe7e9-gmir.jpg?v=1761285918 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Martyrs of La Florida: Lessons On The New Evangelization being held? - **A:** The Martyrs of La Florida: Lessons On The New Evangelization takes place on Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 02:00 pm to Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 04:00 pm at Saint John Paul II National Shrine, 3900 Harewood Road Northeast, Washington, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Martyrs of La Florida: Lessons On The New Evangelization? - **A:** The Martyrs of La Florida: Lessons On The New Evangelization is organized by Saint John Paul II National Shrine. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "The Martyrs of La Florida: Lessons On The New Evangelization", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a4004a27692e59bd11ad1e006778388c174ed5e71902fcd637a933f74b92d0fa-rimg-w1200-h1646-dcdbe7e9-gmir.jpg?v=1761285918", "startDate": "2025-11-20", "endDate": "2025-11-20", "url": "https://allevents.in/washington/the-martyrs-of-la-florida-lessons-on-the-new-evangelization/100001766532138179", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Saint John Paul II National Shrine", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "3900 Harewood Road Northeast", "postalCode": "20017", "addressLocality": "Washington", "addressRegion": "DC", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "38.937784", "longitude": "-77.00488000000001" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A presentation by Dr. Mary Soha on the New Evangelization in the context of Native American communities and what we can learn from them.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-20", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/washington/the-martyrs-of-la-florida-lessons-on-the-new-evangelization/100001766532138179" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/washington/the-martyrs-of-la-florida-lessons-on-the-new-evangelization/100001766532138179", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/washington/the-martyrs-of-la-florida-lessons-on-the-new-evangelization/100001766532138179", "price": 0, "name": "Donation" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Saint John Paul II National Shrine", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/saint-john-paul-ii-national-shrine/17609518", "description": "The Saint John Paul II National Shrine is a place of worship, religious formation, and cultural renewal to feed the minds and souls of its visitors. It is a place of pilgrimage with a first-class relic of St. John Paul II’s blood available for veneration. Through liturgy and prayer, art, cultural events, and religious celebrations, pilgrims can enter into our patron’s deep love for God and for man. A major permanent exhibit highlights significant events in the life of Pope John Paul II and his momentous influence as the spiritual father of one billion Catholics and as a world leader. From its conception, the Shrine was intended as a response to St. John Paul II’s call for a “new evangelization,” which was repeated by Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. It is meant to be a place of genuine encounter with God that leads to a renewal of individuals, families, societies, and cultures — a place where God, who “entered history” (John Paul II, Homily, Dec. 24, 1999), heals and renews every dimension of human life. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops designated the Shrine a national shrine on March 14, 2014. " } ] } ] ```
