Last "Official" week of posting discussion questions about The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic! Don't fret if you are still catching up, the posts will still be here when you are ready. The type A personality in me just wants to make sure I stay on schedule in the off chance someone is actually caught up.
The last section of the book talks about how we can move forward to encourage Catholics to become more engaged. What is that "Game Changer" going to be? How can we begin turning the tide locally just within our own parish?
Discussion Questions
1.) At what time in your life did you feel the best about being Catholic? Why?
2.) How would you like your parish to become more dynamic in the coming year? Are you willing to get involved and help make that happen?

CALL FOR BOOK SUGGESTIONS!!
I'm trying to get together a list of books that would be good for either young adults who are fallen away from their faith, wanting to learn more about their faith, or ways to continue to grow in our faith that we can continually pick from for our next Book Club selection. They can be of any genre, fiction, non-fiction, biography, etc. So please, please, please, let me know if you have any suggestions of awesome books you have read, that have been suggested to you or that you really want to read. With my new baby coming soon, I still really want to keep up with posting and think that having a good list to choose from would be awesome!
1.) I think that right now is the time that I feel best about being Catholic. I'm learning so much about my faith and finding ways to apply it to my daily life. I enjoy sharing it with others who are close to me. I'm excited whenever a read what Pope Francis is writing about various world and societal issues. I think we are in a time when the Church is really trying different ways of preaching the love of God in a way that is more accessible to various groups of people, something I think that was needed.
ReplyDelete2.) Although I think our parish is fairly dynamic, I think it would be cool if there were more parish wide series like The Call throughout the year. Interesting seminars or guest speakers who can come into our parish to help strengthen the faith of all. I probably can't get too involved this year to make this happen since I'll have a newborn at home, but I am still always thinking about starting an All Saints Mom Facebook group as a easy to organize starting point to create a Mom's group. I just have to make the time and pull the trigger.
