Transforming the Parish

Models for the Future

By: Thomas P. Sweetser,Patricia M. Forster

Transforming the Parish: Models for the Future is the result of twenty years of work with parishes across the United States through the Parish Evaluation Project. It offers models for the future in the areas of spirituality, small faith communities, liturgy, faith development, volunteers and freeing structures. It provides ideas and suggestions about what parish life could be while at the same time paying close attention to what is. Transforming the Parish is a practical guide for pastors, staffs, parish leaders, pastoral ministers, diocesan personnel and those studying the future of parish life and operation. Parish Evaluation Project is a resource to Catholic parishes, dioceses, religious communities, and pastoral ministries throughout the United States. In March of 1993 it celebrated twenty years of service. It is based in Des Plaines, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, and is listed in the Official Catholic Directory as an organization affiliated with the United States Catholic Conference.

Can Francis Change the Church?

How American Catholics Are Responding to His Leadership

By: Thomas Sweetser

Jesuit Thomas Sweetser has worked for more than 35 years with Catholic faith communities on evaluation and renewal. In 2011 he set out to interview a broad range of American Catholics, both practicing and non-practicing, about their relationship with the Church. A few years into the new papacy, Fr. Sweetser asked the same people again. Had anything changed with Pope Francis? The answers are enlightening for the church's future. Based on before/after interviews, this helpful resource is for everyone concerned about the Church. The value of this book lies in the direct conversations with people from very different walks of life between 20 and 80 years old. They include faithful Catholics as well as people who have left the church. They touch on hot button questions such as hierarchy, women in the church, and sexual abuse, and offer insights into the nature of a deep desire for authentic spirituality. Together these conversations offer a picture of the current state of the Catholic Church as experienced by its members.
