Press Kit
Amazing Parish is a transformative movement that began just over a decade ago to help pastors and their leadership teams fulfill Christ’s Great Commission to “Go make disciples of all nations.” Next August, Amazing Parish aims to broaden its mission and vision for the future at the 2026 Leadership Summit in Houston, TX [August 3-5, 2026]. A conference previously open only to parish teams that were member clients, Amazing Parish now invites all clergy, seminarians, diocesan staff, and laity serving in leadership positions to experience a uniquely empowering event and an on-fire culture dedicated to setting the Church up for mission and intentional evangelization.

“What happened at the summit for my team is that each one of us, myself included, had a real encounter with Jesus Christ—not only healing us individually, but also as a team. What we wanted more than anything was to bring this experience to our parish.”
