Six weeks ago, more than 500 people from around the country, including representatives from the Archdiocesan Office of Pastoral Planning, Secretariat for New Evangelization, the Belmont and Salem Collaboratives, and Immaculate Conception Parish in Malden, gathered in Denver for a two-day Amazing Parish conference. At the end of the event, organizers promised that the exchange of ideas would continue. True to their word, the first Amazing Parish webinar took place Oct. 9. A benefit of technology is that this follow up mini-conference involved no fee, no air travel, no hotel, no time away from the office.

As I reflect on what God is doing, I’m both excited to see what God has in store for the Church and admittedly a little uncertain of how prepared we are to respond. I am afraid that leaders throughout the Church will look at this new “silent revival” and stop to say “look what we did for God” rather than “look what God did for us.”
