It only takes one saint to start a blaze of the Holy Spirit, and we believe that you are the Saint the world needs for today. But, if you find your ministry efforts are being frustrated by personalities or habits in the parish that seem unchangeable, send an email to CatholicMinPros@gmail.com. We’d love to talk with you about how a parish event or training can help you to transform your parish through your work.
