Parish Initiatives
Parish Coordinators please browse through this page and if you see something of interest to your parish fill out the inquiry form and we will contact you and see if we can make it happen.
Journeys of Faith’s offerings can be woven into parish life in ways that deepen devotion, spark curiosity, and invite personal transformation. Here are some ideas tailored to your style of blending tradition with warmth and visual storytelling:
---
🙏 Devotional Integration
• Surrender Novena Series:
Host a 9-day parish novena with printed prayer cards and a visual centerpiece (collage or icon). You could design a Marian-inspired altar space using red and blue tones to evoke trust and surrender.
• Divine Mercy Chaplet:
Lead weekly chaplet prayers with accompanying visuals—perhaps a banner or digital slideshow featuring the Divine Mercy image and quotes from St. Faustina.

🎨 Visual Storytelling in Sacred Spaces
• Saints Gallery Wall:
Create a rotating display of saint portraits from the Lives of the Saints series. Include short bios and symbolic elements (e.g., lilies for St. Joseph, roses for St. Thérèse).
• Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit:
Set up a temporary exhibit in the narthex or parish hall with stories, maps, and images from the Miracles of the Eucharist collection. Add QR codes linking to deeper reflections or videos.

📚 Faith Formation & Small Groups
• Marian Apparitions Study Group:
Use The Many Faces of Mary as a guide for a monthly gathering. Each session could explore one apparition, paired with your own visual interpretations or symbolic designs.
• Youth or RCIA Engagement:
Incorporate short videos or excerpts from the collections into catechesis. You could design worksheets or reflection cards that tie in traditional symbols with modern color palettes.

🛍️ Gift Shop or Fundraiser Ideas
• Stock prayer cards, books, and devotional art from Journeys of Faith in your parish gift shop.
• Offer bundles (e.g., Surrender Novena + Marian artwork) as part of seasonal fundraisers or retreat giveaways.
