ParishMission.org to
serve the parish in
the work of bringing
the faith community
to life in a new and
vibrant way. A
parish mission
directed by
ParishMission.Org is
about the People of
God in your parish
experiencing the
passion and fervor
of our faith as
expressed through
sacrament, story and
song— spanning
generations and
centuries, including
parishioners of all
ages, of every
economic,
educational,
vocational and
occupational
background, coming
together as the
empowered Body of
Christ.
There are few methods of
communicating our faith that
have greater impact or are
more enduring than the use
of music with Word and
ritual. When we gather with
hungry hearts to celebrate
in prayer, Word, ritual,
sacrament and song the rich
tradition of our faith, we
will surely be fed with a
meal that lasts more than a
lifetime.

Western
Dominican Preaching
An
apostolic
ministry of
evangelical
preaching
and teaching
which has
continued
without
interruption
since the
early
1850's.
It is
exercised
primarily
through
parish
missions,
novenas,
retreats,
catechesis
for adults,
and days of
recollection.
The friars
are members
in good
standing of
the Western
Dominican
Province and
are chosen
by their
superiors as
particularly
qualified
for this
ministry
which is
central to
the
Dominican
tradition.
While our
service is
available
throughout
the year,
the
liturgical
season of
Advent and
Lent are
particularly
recommended
as ideal
times for
spiritual
renewal.

Order
of
Preachers
The Order of Preachers was founded in 1215 by St. Dominic Guzman to preach the Word of God. This ancient yet very contemporary mission is lived by Dominican men and women today. Out of their life-long study and prayer they bring the love and mercy of the Gospel message of Jesus Christ to people of our day. At the web site you are invited to meet some of these preachers and listen to their gospel words. They are available for retreats and missions. They preach individually or in teams, with other friars or with sisters from a variety of congregations throughout the United States.

ACTS
An ACTS retreat is a three day and three night Catholic lay retreat presented by fellow parishioners. The retreat begins on Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday at a Mass celebrated with the parish community. Retreats for men and retreats for women are given separately. Talks and activities during the retreat focus on Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service, from which the ACTS acronym is derived. Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are the guides for the retreats. The retreat takes on the traditions and atmosphere of the parish community sponsoring it. The retreat facilitates the attainment of a new or deeper relationship with the Lord.

Cursillo
The Cursillo Movement is introduced over a consecutive seventy-two hour period called a "Three Day Weekend." During weekend a team of religious and lay personnel present a series of talks to the candidates and the entire group calls upon the Holy Spirit for enlightenment and guidance. The team and candidates live as a small Christian community over the weekend and discuss these talks in small groups. The discussions provide an opportunity for you to share your insights about the presentations and hear how others received that same presentation.
