show up to perform ministry tasks?
Does your parish offer hospitality where one can form authentic friendships and community?
What are some of the challenges that your parish faces when inviting others into community?
What are some of the pros and cons that you have experienced when the parish adapts new
strategies for hospitality?
How does your parish strengthen families in their faith formation, specifically during sacramental
moments? How does the parish accompany people into the community of faith?
