How to connect with Amazing Parish https://amazingparish.org/

Welcome back to Catholics Living Discipleship. In todays episode I speak with Tim Glemkowski who is currently the Executive Director of Amazing Parish. I consider Tim a great evangelist as well as a great Catholic visionary leader. Every time we speak, I am inspired. He has a great passion for helping others come to know Jesus as well as shifting culture at Catholic parishes, so they become more vibrant with Mission. Our conversation starts with us sharing our passion for parish renewal and then shifts into a deeper conversation around the vision and mission of Amazing Parish. Parish Transformation is possible and Amazing Parish works with the pastor and parish leadership to make it possible. I encourage you to sit on this conversation. I guarantee you will walk away with some new perspective.
