Summary

This week, Jake and Bob share ideas on how to foster a healthy parish community. They not only reflect on the challenges of developing true community within a parish but also ponder how healthy parish life revolves around our personal healing and freedom. Through the use of multiple personal examples, Jake and Bob also explore the importance of the Sacraments, the role of forgiveness, and how love and fear bonds affect our relationships with God and those around us.

Key Points:

Building community in small groups and then coming together for Mass on Sunday is one way to begin fostering community
The Pastor of a parish has the important role of spiritual father and can foster community and connection by his example
Many people may feel unsafe to build community in their parishes due to past wounds and judgements
Fear and love bonds not only affect our relationships with others but also with God
Fear bonds are formed from wounds and can lead to anxiety or avoidance in relationships
Love bonds are built on trust and intimacy
Sin and unresolved issues can affect the health of a parish community
Judgement and Rigidity can hinder community growth
Healing our own woundedness on an individual level contributes to a more vibrant community on the parish level
