How will you respond?
God wants to transform every parish into the dynamic community each is called to be, one-person-at-a-time. If enough parishes engage in this transformation not only will parish life in America be better, but it will change the world.
As simple as it may seem, changing the world for the better really can begin with an individual decision to embrace the four life-changing habits of prayer, study, generosity, and evangelization.
Get Involved
If you’d like to be a part of this ground-breaking work, here are five ways to get involved:
Pray for this parish and its partnership with Dynamic Catholic.
Volunteer your time and energy for a Dynamic Parish initiative.
Invite others to serve with you.
Utilize the resources made available to pray, study, serve, and evangelize.
If the resources don’t speak directly to you, share them with someone who you think will benefit from them.
Some of the Happiest People on Earth
Ten years ago, the Dynamic Catholic Institute studied some of the happiest people on earth: Dynamic Catholics. These individuals strive to be all that God created them to be and serve their parish community powerfully. The study revealed that, at their core, these individuals shared a commitment to four life-changing habits:
Prayer: Conversing with God at least 10 minutes daily.
Study: Growing in knowledge of God and the Catholic faith.
Generosity: Serving powerfully with one’s time, talent and treasure.
Evangelization: Sharing our faith intentionally with others.
When lived out, these four habits open our lives to the power of God’s grace and the amazing possibilities God has for each of us. We are collaborating with Dynamic Catholic to unleash these habits into our own lives, the lives of our families, and the life of our parish.
Our collaborative is teaming up with Dynamic Catholic to launch Dynamic Parish®
For over a decade, Dynamic Catholic has been helping Catholics deepen their relationship with God and one another through the four habits. They are dedicated to spending the next decade implementing all they have learned to help parish communities like ours become all that God intends us to be. They will do that by:
What is Dynamic Parish®?
Dynamic Parish is a collaboration between our parish and Dynamic Catholic to invite everyone to rediscover Jesus, the beauty of Catholicism, and the commitment of our parish community to love and serve each other. Together, we will meet people where they are and point them to where God is leading them. We will learn what helps the parish grow and what doesn’t. And we will share what we learn here in this parish with every parish in America.
Together, with God’s grace and guidance, something incredible is going to happen.
The 5 Year Partnership
Over the course of the five-year partnership, Dynamic Catholic will provide our collaborative with resources and experiences proven to deepen our connection to God and to each other.
Each year will focus on one of the four life-changing habits, beginning with an invitation to start dreaming for ourselves and for the life of the parish.
Year 1: Invitation - Taking the next right step toward God.
Year 2: Prayer - Developing a daily habit of prayer.
Year 3: Study - Becoming continuous learners of the faith.
Year 4: Generosity - Experiencing the joy of generous living.
Year 5: Evangelization - Inviting others to know Jesus.
Dynamic Catholic Resources
Here is a quick look at the resources we will experience:
Catholic books which encourage us to grow in faith and inspire us to share the Good News with others.
Programs that guide us in encountering the life, teaching, and person of Jesus.
Events that inspire Catholics across the spectrum of engagement to take the next right step toward God.
Consulting and coaching that aid the pastor and his leadership team in the implementation of their important work.
Through the generosity of Dynamic Catholic Ambassadors, all of these resources are free for our parish.
God transforms parishes one person at a time.
