Great Ideas from Great Parishes: A Parish Handbook from Renew International - Mary Ann Jeselson & Carole Garibaldi Rogers
"In California, a parish conducts summer courses for its lay ministers, encouraging them to become involved in the life of the parish and to deepen their own spiritual commitment. In Mississippi, a rural mission parish of only twelve families begins a food pantry for the poor. And three times a year, in suburban New Jersey, a large vibrant parish hosts welcoming dinners for new parishioners and invites them to full participation in the community."
- From the Introduction.
From the beginning, the mission of RENEW has been based on a simple idea: People gather together to pray, to reflect on their faith, and to determine ways to live out their faith in everyday life. In the process of assisting dioceses and parishes with the RENEW process, RENEW International team members found themselves renewed by encounters with many excellent grass roots programs that aided in the transformation of parish life. In Great Ideas from Great Parishes, RENEW team members Mary Ann Jeselson and Carole Garibaldi Rogers share more than forty practical ideas from such parishes all over the country and offer guidelines for adapting them to any faith community.
Organized around the themes of evangelization, faith formation, liturgy and sacramental life, ministry, social justice, spirituality, and stewardship, each idea was evaluated according to the following criteria: Does it help the parish and its members grow closer to Jesus Christ? Does it help draw people closer to the Catholic Church? Is it rooted in, and faithful to, the Catholic Church? Does it work? Is it transferable? In addition, the authors searched for ideas that met these additional criteria: Does the idea spread the Good News to others? Does it answer the call to social justice? Does it include global or multi-cultural awareness and commitment? In Great Ideas from Great Parishes, pastors, parish staff, parish councils, ministry teams, lay leaders, small Christian communities - in short, all who care deeply about the life of their parish - will find a cornucopia of clever ideas for reinvigorating parish life.
