This is an excellent read. It has a lot of stories and examples from his own experience as a priest and a pastor.

I find it a very good book because it raises some hard questions and challenges: Why do we exist as a parish? How well are we carrying out our mission?  I really encourage you to read it!

Bishop Rhoades came to St. Michael for Mass and a visit to the school during Catholic Schools Week. The children had a program in the gymnasium where students from each grade talked about what they liked about the school. Afterwards, Bishop visited each classroom and asked the children what they were learning in religion class. He asked them a number of questions, and they all did a good job of answering.
