If the Church is ever going to actualize its full potency as a force for good it will happen only when the parish is at the center of the work of compassion and justice, and the work of com­passion and justice is at the center of the parish.”

What is the future of the American Church? Building on the legacy of the Catholic Church's robust historical witness, the inspiration of Pope Fran­cis, and his own experiences as parish minister, Catholic Worker member, and founder of Just­Faith Ministries, Jack Jezreel presents a unique vision for renewing parish life.
