A New Opportunity for Parish Leaders!

Meeting people’s spiritual needs is foundational to engaging them in deep and living faith. Yet, as I have talked with parish and diocesan leaders about this in the past few years, this seems a consistent challenge. We know, for instance, that the Mass and our sacramental life are vital to people’s spiritual lives. We wonder, however, how to help them grow in appreciation of Christ’s sacramental presence in their daily lives. There are many similar connections we think people may be missing, such as participation in faith formation or in service and outreach. All of these elements of our pastoral life are important, as people become more committed disciples, yet many seem to miss the connections. What are the best practices around all of this? How might we learn from each other?

Explore a new groundbreaking Spiritual Needs Survey here and join other parish leaders in a new opportunity to discover what leads people to an engaging relationship with God and one another.
