Strengthening Adult Faith at Christmas

Joe Paprocki Catechetical Leaders

Adult faith formation leaders are always planning ahead. With that in mind, here is a suggestion for an effective strategy for Christmas. Many parishes are finding that the celebration of Christmas in the parish is a wonderful opportunity to focus on strengthening the faith of adults (many of whom do not regularly attend Mass) by doing a book giveaway at all of the Christmas Masses. Loyola Press is ready to assist you in such an effort with our One Book, One Parish program.

One Book, One Parish from Loyola Press

One Book, One Parish aims to provide you with the tools you need to re-engage and revitalize your parish community. The program provides an affordable way for you to reach each parishioner with meaningful and quality books.

•    $4 each for orders of 250-999 units

Finding Middle Ground Between “Churchy” and “Secular” Events

Joe Paprocki Leading a Parish Program

Most adult faith formation activities seem to fall into two disparate categories. On the one hand, we find activities that are unabashedly spiritual in nature.
