This resource is a template for a day-long retreat in which parish leadership (staff, members of the parish council, etc.) communally assess a parish or a school’s celebration of the Mass.
From this assessment, parish leadership will create a plan of action for improving the reverence of Eucharistic worship in their community.
This resource is an accompaniment to Timothy O’Malley’s book Becoming Eucharistic People: The Hope and Promise of Parish Life (Ave Maria Press, 2022).
The McGrath Institute for Church Life bridges the Catholic intellectual life and the life of the Church in order to form and empower faithful Catholic leaders for service to the Church and thereby the world. In collaboration with our ecclesial partners, we propose and enact a renewed vision of Church life through scholarship, pastoral expertise, and teaching to discern and address the needs of the Church.
