Originally written for my his own parish, this mission has been adapted into numerous forms to meet the needs of different groups: the standard 3-day mission, a weekend retreat for high school students, a 1-day retreat for RCIA candidates, and more. This parish mission was inspired by SHERRY WEDDELL'S FORMING INTENTIONAL DISCIPLES in particular, the chapter dealing with repentance. A Greek Orthodox priest mentioned how he rarely preached or talked about repentance. I realized that I've never done that. I helped form and instruct people on how to make a good confession, but never really explicitly explored the area of helping people repent. Rooted and grounded in the endless mercy of God from the first talk, the second talk leads people into repentance by asking them one question: What is that one thing - sin, wound, label, or fear - that is keeping you from a better relationship with God. Pastors have been shocked at how deep confessions go after this portion. The final talk hones in on two things: how to stay free of that one thing, and how to get more involved in my faith. Streamed live on Feb 8, 2021 Parish Mission Night #1 - "That One Thing" with Michael Gormley, live broadcast from St Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish KS
