3 Contemporary Challenges Do you wish you had more time each week to educate your parishioners? Would you like to reach those parishioners who do not regularly attend Sunday Mass? Why do over 30% of Catholics not believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist? Why do Protestant Christians out give Catholics two to one? Thankfully there are answers!
