Elevated Parish Missions

Catholic Parish Missions. Igniting hearts. Reviving parishes.

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

Maybe the struggle you never would have chosen taught you to pray.
Or the season that broke your plans rebuilt your trust.
Or the weakness you wished away taught you how much you need Him.
Whatever brought you here—stay close.
If it brought you closer to Jesus, it wasn’t wasted.

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

Extended family is meant to be more than a good time.
It’s a community that shows up.
A community that encourages, supports, & loves us enough to challenge us to become our best selves.
Our families need those people.
And our parishes do, too.

A fresh, elevated look for a mission that’s all about lifting hearts, renewing parishes, and drawing people closer to Jesus.

Testimonial Tuesday!
"It made me realize Jesus is real, He is truly in the Eucharist I receive daily, He has not forgotten me, He's calling me home." - anonymous attendee of one of our parish missions in 2024 at Holy Name of Jesus Parish Mission (Wasau, WI).

This October, EPM is inviting you to walk with St. Thérèse and embrace her “Little Way”—offering God small sacrifices, acts of love, and ordinary moments done in extraordinary love.
Here’s the challenge:
1 sacrifice = comment 1 rose petal
12 petals = 1 rose
12 roses = 1 dz roses

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

Fear will tell you to stay where it’s comfortable. God may be calling you somewhere different.
Parish renewal takes courage—the courage to step beyond what’s familiar, to try something new, to open our doors wider, and to invite people into a deeper encounter with Christ.

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

What if your gift could help a parish rediscover the joy of being a family in Christ?
We believe parish renewal begins with hearts—hearts that encounter Jesus, fall more deeply in love with Him, and are sent forth to share that love with others.

No one talks about how hard it is to go from going through the motions, feeling disconnected, & sitting in the pew wondering where your faith went
…to a heart on fire for Christ, a parish that feels like family, & a faith that moves beyond Sunday
But the journey is worth taking

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

Sometimes love looks like making room. Even when you have every reason to say, “That’s MY bed.”
There’s something beautifully familiar about the way a family loves—making sacrifices, giving up what’s comfortable, and choosing the other person simply because they matter to you.

Testimonial Tuesday! ❤️‍🔥
There’s nothing better than hearing how a parish mission opened hearts, strengthened faith, and brought people closer to Christ.
Don’t just take our word for it—listen to what they’re saying!
Because one encounter with Christ can change everything. 🙏

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

Maybe the secret to life isn’t that complicated…
Maybe it’s learning to slow down enough to notice that God is already there.
In the ordinary. In the mess. In the silence. In the people sitting beside you. In the moments you almost rush past.

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

Because on the other side of fear may be the very place where He is calling you to encounter Him—and help others encounter Him, too.
“Here I am, Lord. Send me.” 🙏

“Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Parish renewal doesn’t happen through one person or one ministry. It happens when all of us choose to encourage one another and point each other toward Christ.

Will you be an EPM Ambassador?

The 7th Sorrow of Mary: Jesus Is Laid in the Tomb
Mary’s final sorrow teaches us something difficult: sometimes love means letting go.

We all have people, dreams, plans, and situations we desperately want to control.
Mary teaches us to place what we love into the hands of God.

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

Some of life’s greatest gifts are the people we get to share it with.
The laughter. The stories. The memories. The simple joy of being surrounded by people who are still choosing to celebrate every moment.
And isn’t that what God desires for us, too?

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

Testimonial Tuesday 🤍
Sometimes, the most powerful part of an encounter with Christ is witnessing someone else encounter Him.
During Eucharistic Procession, we see hearts soften. We see people kneel, pray, weep, worship, and simply stand in awe of the One who is truly present.

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

The next chapter of Higher Ground is here, and it starts with real stories of parish renewal from the front lines. If you care about Catholic evangelization, parish life, or what happens when a community truly encounters Christ, this is the reset episode you need.

[Elevated Parish Missions @EPMissions]

POV: You came to the parish mission expecting a few good talks… and left realizing you encountered Him.
Not just an event.
Not just another night at church.
An encounter with Jesus that changes everything.

This is parish renewal. This is EPM.

Fear can paralyze us.
It can make us hesitate, hold back, doubt ourselves, and lose sight of where God is leading us.
But fear does not have to have the final word.

He is with you—in every fear, every uncertainty, and every step forward.
