PROCLAIMING THE GOOD NEWS

Sharing the "Good News" with others is the bedrock of Christian discipleship and advocacy. Whether through commentary from the pastor, the example set forth by a lay witness presentation, or current events that open new windows on how we perceive our faith, a parish needs, as religious scholar Robert N. Bellah so aptly states, to "demonstrate, in the face of cultural skepticism, what a community of loyal and committed believers is really like." A truly informative parish newsletter can do just that and more.
