Many parishes struggle to maintain a vibrant, engaged Catholic community that is committed to evangelization in the modern world. The National Center for Evangelization & Parish Renewal was founded in 1984 to assist churches with the skills and resources needed to become more mission driven and focused on holistic evangelization. Directed by Fr. Pat Brennan, D.Min., Psy.D, who has more than 25 years of experience leading evangelization and parish renewal efforts, the Center offers a variety of missions, retreats and training modules to achieve these goals. The services provided by the Center can be structured to meet the specific needs of your individual parish.
