Company's Coming: A Spiritual Process for Creating More Welcoming Parishes - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

What if the future of your parish depends, in part, on how well you welcome the stranger?

Every week, people walk into Catholic churches carrying invisible burdens. Some are searching for God. Some are returning after years away. Some are grieving the loss of a former parish. Some are simply hoping to find a place where they will be seen, valued, and received with kindness.

Too often, they leave unconvinced that anyone noticed they were there.

In Company’s Coming, Dr. Richard McCorry offers a practical, spiritually grounded guide to helping parishes become more welcoming communities. Rooted in Scripture, Catholic tradition, Church teaching, and sound organizational principles, this book provides a clear process for moving a parish from good intentions to meaningful action.

This is not a book of vague ideals. It is a thoughtful roadmap for pastors, parish staffs, ministry leaders, and parishioners who want their communities to reflect the hospitality of Christ more faithfully.

Inside, readers will discover:

• why hospitality is essential to the mission of the Church
• how newcomers experience a parish in their first critical moments
• a step-by-step process for assessing current reality and creating a stronger culture of welcome
• practical tools for communication, planning, implementation, and follow-up
• a faith-filled vision for building parishes where people feel they belong

Whether your parish is facing change, seeking renewal, recovering from merger or consolidation, or simply longing to become more intentional about hospitality, Company’s Coming offers wisdom, encouragement, and a practical path forward.

If you believe the Church should look and feel more like the welcoming heart of Christ, this book will give you both the inspiration and the tools to begin.
