Description

Pope Francis describes the parish as “a community of communities, a sanctuary where the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey, and a centre of constant missionary outreach.” This book grew out of the authors’ work in the Department for Evangelisation in Salford Diocese and nationally, and the practical experience of working in a parish. It is designed as a hands-on support to priests, catechists and parishioners. It will help a parish truly become, in the words of St John Paul II, “the Church living in the midst of the homes of her sons and daughters.”
