“This book may be the best catalyst ever for assisting Catholic parish life to be even better. It gives fascinating details on many of the best parishes in North America. It gives practical tips on how to improve hymns, homilies, architecture, liturgy, the works. It gives a tremendous boost to great pastors (especially the overworked and under sung). It covers virtually every aspect of parish life, and is a powerful invitation to great lay people to pitch in. For most of us, the parish is the church…Hurrah for the editors and author!”
