Parishes are emptying all over the country

Most young people WANT a vibrant place to practice their faith and raise their family, but they just don’t have one.

“Just get involved” is the typical response. But it’s terrible advice.

You’ve got a job and a family, and there’s no room in the week for one more thing.

But starting your own thing at the parish does not need to be time-intensive or expensive.

Every week, I will hand you a blueprint for how to save your parish or field notes from people just like you who saved theirs.

  • How to win friends and influence Susan

  • How to create a men’s/women’s group that doesn’t suck

  • How a regular parishioner brought 300 families back to Mass

These tools are for regular parishioners, but can be used by staff and lay leaders who are tired of waiting for permission.

It’s also not mere theory.

I’m Patrick Neve, and I’ve worked in ministry in various ways for over a decade with some of the best apostolates and evangelists alive today (SEEK, Franciscan University, Adore Ministries)

I also wrote a book called Save Your Parish that teaches people exactly like you how to fix their church with no influence and no budget.
