Minimal Financial Outlay
The mission is structured for the greatest attendance and impact while asking very little of the parish budget.
Why Elevated?
Inspiration fades. Disciples multiply.
Most parish missions leave people moved for a night — and back to normal by Sunday. Elevated Parish Missions is built for what comes after.
The problem in parishes
Does this look familiar?
Across the country, many parishes are struggling with dwindling attendance, quiet sanctuaries, and a longing for spiritual renewal. Pastors and parish staff are stretched thin — and no one has time for another event that only the faithful few attend.
While people may be inspired in the short-term by a dynamic speaker at a typical parish mission, they are often left with a “Now what?” And there is no lasting impact on parish life.
“Go out to the highways and hedgerows and make people come in that my home may be filled.”Luke 14:23
The solution
A mission designed for spiritual multiplication.
Elevated Parish Missions uses a proven model that incorporates powerful preaching, worship, and Eucharistic adoration to awaken faith and renew hearts. But added to this is our post-mission follow-up that empowers participants to accompany each other as disciples.
4 Months of Turnkey Coaching
Roles, timelines, logistics and ready-to-use promotion — plus spiritual formation of your parish core team.
Preaching, Worship & Adoration
A renowned Catholic speaker, a dynamic worship leader and reverent Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament each night.
Discipleship & Multiplication
A post-mission plan that forms disciples who form other disciples — so the fire doesn’t go out on night three.
