To announce the good news boldly: Pope Francis’ call for ‘parrhesia’

She attended a neophyte Mass April 28 with Bishop Mark Bartosic at Mary, Seat of Wisdom Parish, also in Park Ridge.
Pope Francis to restructure Roman Curia with major office for evangelization
It’s been a long, painstaking process that has taken over five years. But a new apostolic constitution for the Roman Curia is almost ready to be published and looks set to be one of the most radical shakeups of the church’s central administration in a generation.
Book: Ten lies that can impede our relationship with God
Deacon Keith Strohm is a deacon for the Archdiocese of Chicago and travels the country creating and sustaining processes and programs of evangelization and formation at the group, parish and diocesan level that focus on making missionary disciples of Jesus Christ. He is also the executive director of M3 Ministries (m3catholic.com) and a co-author, along with six other collaborators, with Sherry Weddell of the book “Becoming a Parish of Intentional Disciples,” which is a follow-up to the book, “Forming Intentional Disciples.”
Researcher: Difference between 'considering leaving' and 'leaving' church
