Understanding Today's Catholic Parish

William J. Rademacher, Rev. John S. Weber, Rev. Mr. David McNeill, Jr. This is an inspiring and informative invitation to Catholics, especially those involved in parish ministry, to reflect prayerfully on their history, identity, and mission, and to focus their energies more deliberately on building the Kingdom of God. The three sections on pastoral theology, canon law, and civil law offer the reader grounding in the fundamentals of three important and surprisingly related aspects of parish operations.
