Tsunami of Grace from a Parish Mission

Every pastor is responsible for 100% of the souls in his parish geography. In this free course we make the distinction on how the “event” of the mission will impact those living in the parish. We cover also how the unique, special graces associated with the parish mission will open floodgates of grace for everyone within the parish boundaries. Drawing inspiration from the time-tested itinerant preaching methods of the Fathers of Mercy, this course teaches parish leadership teams how to turn a seasonal retreat into a long-term engine for conversion and sacramental revival.

"St. John Vianney not only organized parish missions for Ars, he also used to go to neighboring parishes and help them with confessions during their missions. Once a pastor puts on a well-organized mission, he understands why."
