PARISH MISSIONS

The PARISH MISSION is a special moment of grace in the life of a parish. It might be a time to celebrate a parish milestone or anniversary. It might be a yearly event to prepare for the feasts of Christmas or Easter. Or it might be a special event to start off another academic year or a parish renewal program.

The Parish Mission begins with the homily at all the weekend Masses. The preacher shares the theme of the Mission with the congregation and invites them to attend. The Mission continues over 3 consecutive nights. Depending upon the type of liturgical service chosen for a specific night, the Parish Mission can last between 60 to 90 minutes.

We are pleased to have 2 excellent Parish Mission preachers available: Dr. Mary Amore and Deacon Ron Yurcus..

Dr. Amore is a published author and an engaging speaker, well-versed in preaching missions in the areas of liturgy and Eucharist. She holds a Doctor of Ministry Degree in Liturgy and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies from Catholic Theological Union, is married and the mother of two young adults. Dr. Amore offers a wide variety of topics, including her new Stewardship Mission, which culminates in a parish ministry fair.

Deacon Ron Yurcus is a gifted preacher, and shares his experience with others as a husband, father, and teacher in the Christian environment.

If you are interested in booking a Parish Mission with Dr. Amore, or would like to request references of parishes where she has preached, contact Mayslake Ministries at 630-268-9000.
