Professional Development Webinar Series for Parish Ministers
Finding Holiness in the Everyday: Ministering to the Tired, Busy Suburban Dad
Tyler BlanskiHow can ministry leaders better reach the men who feel too busy, too tired, or too ordinary to see holiness in their everyday lives?
In this webinar, Tyler Blanski, author of Find Your Fight, invites you to rediscover fatherhood as a sacred calling rather than an obstacle to sainthood. With insight, humor, and deep pastoral wisdom, Blanski explores how ordinary moments—mowing the lawn, driving kids to practice, helping with homework, romancing your wife, and showing up at work—can become pathways to grace.
You’ll learn practical ways to help fathers encounter God right where they are and to awaken the spiritual potential hidden in the routines of suburban life.
Building Community around Your Parish Name-Sake Saint
Woodeene Koenig-BrickerMost parishes bear the name of a saint—but how well do your parishioners really know that saint? And how might the saint’s unique story, spirituality, and charism shape and enliven your parish life today?
In this practical webinar, Woodeene Koenig-Bricker—author of Praying with the Saints— will share simple, accessible ways to intentionally integrate your parish’s saint into the lived experience of your parishioners—from learning how and why the saint was chosen, to identifying key themes from their life that can become organizing principles for parish identity and mission.
And if your parish is not named for a saint, you still have a saintly guide. Every Catholic parish has a saint’s relic embedded in the altar. We’ll explore how to uncover who that saint is and how their life can become a starting point for building deeper devotion and connection in your community.
