Description

Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran know that the fundamental work of the Church is to evangelize—to introduce people to Christ and lead them to disciples. Still, they’re the first to admit: “the difficulty comes when we reach down into the main points and get to work.” In their barn-burning first book, Rebuilt, White and Corcoran shared their story and vision of building better Catholic parishes. Now, in their eagerly anticipated second book, Tools for Rebuilding, they lay out seventy-five proven tactics for getting the job done.

In Tools for Rebuilding: 75 In reality, In reality Practical How one can Make Your Parish Better, White and Corcoran share seventy-five foundational tactics that helped to rejuvenate their parish. Their candid, hands-on advice gives a clear way forward—one to be able to make church matter to the people in the pews and that any one working in parish ministry can put into effect.

Principles/tactics include:

  • Get the Right People at the Bus

  • Christmas Is Over, So Throw Out the Dead Poinsettias

  • Stop Advertising (Other People’s Stuff) in Your Bulletin

  • Don’t Let the Insiders Take All of the Good Seats

  • Just Because It’s Slow Doesn’t Mean It’s Holy

  • When It Comes to First Communion, Just Surrender

  • Funerals Are Scud Missiles

  • Preach the Announcements

  • Start Getting Rid of Fundraisers

  • Everything Takes Longer (Than You Think)

  • Pastor, It’s Not All About You

  • Stop Looking to Make People Go to Church and Make Church Matter
