Catholic Quote of the Day
Adult Catholics need more than a catechesis designed for children. Along with the ordained, we have also been consecrated for a mission. We are called not only to receive Christ in the sacraments, but to bring Christ to the world. Adults need an integrating catechesis that prepares them to live as apostles, gifted men and women of faith, who are called by God to shape the world they live in through their love and work.
If formation for mission is essential to true catechesis, then the overwhelming majority of lay Catholics are not being truly catechized.

Sherry,
I actually think that Parish: Mission or Maintenance is a radical (even revolutionary) call to live out what the Church (through Christ) calls us to as communities of baptized men and women.
It has had a profound effect on my own formation! If you haven't read the whole thing . . .I highly recommend it.
