Your parish is dying... But you can help save it
Every year, eight Catholics leave the Church for every one who joins. Parishes are merging or closing, the pews are emptying, and most of us feel powerless to stop it.
But what if you're not powerless?
What if the solution isn't a new initiative from the diocese, a charismatic pastor, or a bigger budget?
What if the solution is you?
Drawing on a decade of ministry experience—including building two youth ministries from scratch in struggling parishes—Patrick Neve offers a practical blueprint for ordinary Catholics who are tired of watching their faith communities fade.
Save Your Parish shows laypeople how they can rebuild their parishes from the ground up, one relationship at a time.
Inside, you'll find...
The Four Floors Framework: A clear path for parish renewal—Community, Conversion, Catechesis, and Commission—and how to build each one in sequence
Why top-down solutions fail: The megachurch model doesn't translate to most parishes, and copying successful programs rarely works
How to start without permission: Practical tactics you can implement this week, even if your pastor is skeptical or your parish has no resources
The real reason Catholics leave: It's not about the Bible or sex abuse scandals. They just did not have a community that noticed they were gone.
Scripts and strategies for evangelization: From door-to-door outreach to dinner-table conversations, learn how to invite others into the faith naturally
This book is a field guide for the people in the pews—the moms and dads, the young professionals, the retirees who love their parish and refuse to let it die.
You don't need a theology degree or a staff position or even your pastor's permission to do the things in this book. You just need to start.
The Church needs more apostles. Are you ready to become one?
Your parish needs you.
