On doubling down
Manage episode 377079694 series 3448124
TryTank discovered an interesting insight about growing congregations: they have robust faith formation programs that ask MORE of members. In this episode, Fr. Lorenzo chats with Fr. Jason Prati from All Saints Episcopal Church in New Albany, Ohio about their faith formation program, Alive. This is a growing congregation which has doubled down on faith formation and is reaping the rewards.
From an very early age, Fr. Jason Prati felt called to serve our Lord as well as His Church. Entering seminary after High School, he received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy as well as my Masters of Divinity from the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio. Fr. Prati was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in May of 2002 serving as Parochial Vicar of four parishes, Assistant Director of Vocations, Chaplain of a High School and Coordinator of Pontifical Liturgies. In 2008, God moved in his life and he found my way into the Episcopal Church being received as an Episcopalian by Bishop Kenneth Price in May of 2009 and as a priest by Bishop Thomas Breidenthal of the Diocese of Southern Ohio in April of 2013. Fr. Prati is a teacher by nature, loving to share the Good News of Jesus Christ by his life and witness not only as a priest, but as a Christian on fire! Fr. Prati comes from an Italian-American family, so people, faith and love are his passion! He is beyond blessed to be called to serve as Rector of All Saints.
