Description

The goal of this Guide is to give parishes a set of general principles and practical suggestions to help them in their endeavours to create growing communities. The first three chapters set the stage for the discussion that follows, examining a general Orthodox Christian approach to missions, the place of our Ukrainian heritage in parish growth, and what we have to offer those who are not of Ukrainian Orthodox descent. The next six chapters offer practical ideas on how to attract newcomers to, and keep them in, your parish. Chapter 10 offers some thoughts about working with youth and young adults. Useful for Ukrainian Catholic parishes as well.
