Re-Igniting the Post-Pandemic Church: Whatever You Do, Don’t Return to “Normal”!

Reigniting the Post-Pandemic Church Webinar with Joe Paprocki and Julianne Stanz

I’m very excited to be partnering once again with my friend and collaborator Julianne Stanz, from the Diocese of Green Bay, to offer a timely and engaging webinar:

Re-Igniting the Post-Pandemic Church: Whatever You Do, Don’t Return to “Normal”!
Wednesday, June 16, 2021
1:30–3:30 p.m. Central

Twenty years from now, what will people say about this time in history and how we responded as a Church? While we all long for some semblance of “normalcy,” the post-pandemic parish has an opportunity to create an exciting “new normal” for the communities they serve. First and foremost, we must commit to no more business-as-usual. We must be committed to our mission to “go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19). For parish staffs that roll up their sleeves and strategize creative ways to invite people to encounter Jesus Christ, the post-pandemic period can be a new Pentecost. Join us as we lay out a vision for this new Pentecost and identify processes and strategies for making it a reality.

Watch the recording of the webinar.

This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 15, 2013, and will focus on the theme “Open the Door of Faith.”  As always, and appropriately so, catechists will be called forth in their parishes to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday […]

The expression “a picture speaks a thousand words” is particularly apt for the culture in which we live. Image-intensive social media platforms promote sharing through memes, stories, and snippets of information that go viral. For young people, images are not a distraction from the central message but constitute the message itself. Authenticity and thoughtful imaging of the Christian message are particularly important for us as a Church. For those who are in a pre-evangelization stage […]
