One Book, One Parish: Perfect for Adult Faith Formation

Joe Paprocki Adult Faith Formation, Newsworthy

Here’s an idea for your parish Adult Faith Formation program: it’s called One Book, One Parish (affectionately referred to as OBOP here at Loyola Press).

Top Close

One Book, One Parish provides spiritual works that explain our Catholic culture and history; books that illuminate, inspire, provoke, and entertain; books that have a unique perspective and compelling authority.  We seek to help you establish communities of conversation around our faith and get people to re-engage with the parish community.

The purpose of One Book, One Parish is to provide you with the tools you need to re-engage and revitalize your parish community. We seek to provide an affordable way for you to reach each parishioner with meaningful and quality books, and therefore have constructed our pricing structure to reflect the best ways to achieve that.

•    $3 each for orders of 1,000+ units
•    $4 each for orders of 250-999 units
•    $5 each for orders of 50-249 units
•    Free shipping & handling on all orders!

New this year, Loyola Press is offering FREE prayer cards customized for your parish!

Prayer CardsReceive one free prayer card to accompany every book when you order more than 500 books. Prayer cards are tailored to your parish and can include your parish name, Pastor’s name, address, phone number, and website.

You must order at least 500 books to qualify for the prayer cards. After you have placed your order, we will contact you to obtain your parish information.

Instead, I’m proposing that we identify where and around what activities adults are congregating and invite […]
