Dynamic Parish is a parish-based initiative focused on individual and parish growth and renewal, spearheaded by Matthew Kelly’s “Dynamic Catholic” team.

Of the approximately 15,000 U.S. Catholic parishes, Most Holy Trinity has been selected as one of 20 parishes in 4 U.S. dioceses to be part of its pilot program.

Over the next 5 years, and with an investment of resources of approximately a million dollars, Dynamic Catholic will provide resources, materials, events, and dedicated consultants who will assist Most Holy Trinity in incorporating best practices for our parish’s growth and our parishioners’ engagement.

If you missed the introduction to this initiative, you can watch the 5-minute Dynamic Parish launch video below, and you can read the Introductory Booklet HERE.

If you haven’t yet, give the Christmas give-away book, The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity, a try. You just might find some insight into real happiness!

We just completed our Dream Event! Over 250 folks came to hear the inspirational presentation of Tony Ferraro, and to express their hopes and dreams for themselves and our parish.

MHT and Dynamic Catholic extend our gratitude to all who attended and to all who volunteered. Information from the Dream Event, as well as Biggest Future Survey (that we conducted in December), will provide our parish with insight that will help inform future efforts.

And here's an interesting insight that Tony shared at the Dream Event: On average, only 7% of parishioners are “engaged” and provide 80% of time, talent, and treasure. We think—we HOPE—that MHT is better than the average! But we invite you to dream, to imagine, what that might mean for you. If you feel called to become more engaged, we’d welcome your contribution!
 
In the meantime, it is our hope that attendees were inspired to continue the process of dreaming…of imagining how they can be their best selves.
 
Dream on!

The Liturgical season of Lent will be here before you know it!

MHT and Dynamic Parish have resources and events in store to help us make it the Best Lent Ever, some revolving around the themes of our recent gift book, “The Biggest Lie.” So, if you haven’t yet, dive into this insightful Matthew Kelly book.
