Parish Renewal: St. Katherine Drexel

Through our work with Rebuilt, we have the privilege of walking alongside pastors and parish teams who are courageously leading renewal in their communities. When we say that fruit follows faithful leadership, we are not speaking in theory. We are watching it happen.

Father Matt Buening from St. Katherine Drexel in Frederick, Maryland recently shared how a renewed focus on the weekend experience, growing wider, and growing deeper has sparked fresh vision in his parish. He spoke about culture shifting, staff feeling empowered, parishioners stepping into ministry, and new energy around stewardship and hospitality. Notes like his remind us that when we invest in pastors, entire parishes begin to change.

Watch this Rebuilt Right now to hear his full letter, and more about their successes and progress working through the Rebuilt model with their coaches.

Please keep Father Matt, his team, and the people of St. Katherine Drexel in your prayers. Your partnership makes stories like this possible - thank you! (and if you know a pastor who could benefit from this kind of support, would you consider connecting us?)
