We are called to be evangelizing parishes, outposts of the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations. But how we propose God and a relationship with Jesus Christ in his Church should be shaped by who we are trying to reach. How? Through a prayerful assessment of your parish and the community it serves. This assessment has three parts:
- Crunch attendance and registration numbers
- The discipleship level in your parish
- The spiritual and material needs of the wider community
“A Local Assessment for Parish Evangelization” is a four-page guide to this critical process.

It’s virtually impossible to become an evangelizing parish unless the parish operates within a common vision of who they are called to be. A common, articulated vision serves as a North Star, and gives you the ability to measure your progress in reaching the vision for your parish.
“Discerning a Parish Vision” outlines a process for doing just that. Over three sessions, parish leaders prayerfully discern their own parish’s unique vision for evangelization. The three sessions, each about 90 minutes, include:
- Lectio Divina for Vision
- Discerning the Vision
- Drafting a Vision Statement
