The Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples is a department of the Roman Catholic Church responsible for promoting the spread of the Christian faith, particularly in regions where it is less established. Founded in 1622, it focuses on missionary work and supports local churches in their efforts to evangelize and serve communities. This congregation oversees various missionary activities and provides resources for training clergy and laypeople. It also collaborates with other organizations to address social issues and promote development in areas where the Church is active, ensuring that the message of the Gospel reaches diverse populations around the world.
