Transforming Lives,
Transforming Communities

Our families, our jobs, our communities: the most important areas in our lives are changing.

To prepare for and adjust to change – but more importantly, to lead it well – we are driven to be more open, flexible, mindful and intentional.

Given this invitation to grow amid these changes, how are we, as faith communities, responding to the needs of not only our parishioners, but of our neighbours and the stranger?

Our response to Pope Francis’ call for “positive transformation” of society, and the work of solidarity across generational, physical and cultural borders, can already begin in the most local of communities: the parish.

This event will take us through different “come and see” approaches that can help lead to both personal and faith community transformation – key steps in equipping parishes to “go and serve”, and become a more positive, life-giving and transformative presence to the communities around us.

“The parish, in this way, becomes a home in the midst of homes… It manages to make the Lord present there…
a family among families, open to bearing witness in today’s world… A home with open doors.”

– Pope Francis, May 6, 2019
