Extending the Catholic Community
A Reflection on the Role of Businesses
in the Life of the Parish
In a busy town, in the heart of America, there is a Catholic community that serves as the center of the social
universe for a few thousand people. It is not enough for these Catholic pilgrims to just worship together on
a Sunday. Instead, their identities are tied to their parish community 7 days a week. This connection helps
them to see the presence of Jesus Christ everywhere they go.
Three aspects of their parish experience influence their lives. First, they are present to their parish family
during the week at the many activities held: multiple Bible studies, service organization meetings, social
events, and even sporting events. The vibrancy of the parish provides many opportunities for interaction
with each other.
“
Their identities
are tied to
their parish
community 7
days a week.
Second, due to the frequency of activity with those in
their parish family, many have met their best friends
in that community. Their social time is often spent,
therefore, with those who believe as they do and
share the same values as they do. Their parish family
has, in essence, become their real family.
Finally, their wants and needs are often met by those
in the community, or connected to the community
is some way. Their doctors, dentists, plumbers,
and contractors are all members of the same parish
community. Many of the places they eat, the places
they get their cars worked on, or the places they
shop, are owned by parishioners, or they are
”
supporters of the parish community by financial
contributions or advertisements in the parish bulletin
or newsletter.
All three aspects contribute to this experience of a
vibrant parish community where people feel they
belong and their lives and personalities are shaped
by the interactions with that community. And this
parish is not a myth, because there are places like this
springing up all across the country due to a renewal
of evangelization, a commitment to stewardship,
and a desire for increased engagement. My parish of
Saint Pius X in Greensboro, NC is one of them.

Most people can understand the first two aspects
mentioned above. A parish with much activity not
only draws more people into itself, but also increases
the faith and commitment of those who become a
part. In turn, spending more time with people who
share your faith and a desire to belong leads to great
relationships. If our faith is the most important thing
in our lives, and it should be, then finding people
who have that in common is crucial to maturing as
a disciple of Jesus Christ. But often times, the third
aspect mentioned is overlooked, misunderstood, or
even disregarded.
In the early part of the 20th century, much of the
Catholic landscape in the US was shaped by ethnic
communities who lived in close proximity to each
other. This was due partially to an anti-Catholic
sentiment in a Protestant dominated society. There
was strength in numbers. In those communities,
people not only found support to live a Catholic
lifestyle that others might find foreign to them,
but they also found a support system that reached
beyond Mass, the Catholic school, and the catechism
classes that provided apologetic answers to tough
questions. The support system featured bakers
and restrauntuers, plumbers and electricians, retail
store owners and service workers. As the decades
went by, due in large part to the Catholic education
system created in the US, the communities began
to include Catholic professionals such as doctors,
dentists, and lawyers. The inter-connected web of
businesses and patrons provided support for those
Catholic communities not just in services, but also in
creating it’s own micro-economy. Everyone got their
baked goods, especially their First Communion and
wedding cakes, from the same local bakery. In turn,
that baker would support his parish in contributions,
to both weekly collections and special projects.
Some of these communities might even have been
considered ethnic “ghettos” with a population living
below a middle class standard, but they survived
because of the patronage of one another.

and even break apart. Today, some communities
still exist on a smaller scale, especially in the
Northeast US. But most Catholics cannot conceive
of this reality because they live at a time when lives
are sectioned up into segments that have strong
dividing lines. Often times, work, play, family, and
church are four separate realities. Unfortunately,
this experience helps lead to a faith that does not
permeate all of life. There seems to be no real sense
of what a Catholic community could be, or why that
would be important. However, in today’s Catholic
landscape more parish communities are embracing
principles of stewardship, working toward greater
engagement on the part of parishioners, and are
helping to create more mature disciples. In fact,
when one experiences a truly vibrant parish and
then is forced to move to a different locale, they
search for a similar experience for they will accept
nothing less.
This experience of community is enriched when
the community celebrates the talents of those
who belong to it. In fact, those that support the
community who are outside the community of
belief are often celebrated as well. Businesses are
listed in parish directories, appear on bulletins and
newsletters, and sponsor events like parish fairs
and fundraisers. To look at these people and their
businesses as simply advertisers totally misses
the point. They are important parts of the new
parish community that seeks to be more than just a
As time went by, and certainly after the Second

Tales From the Community
One day a colleague of mine when I worked in
parish ministry bought pizza for a youth ministry
gathering. They had not been at the parish for very
long and they used a national chain that everyone
would recognize. When the receipt was turned in
my pastor showed much concern. He wanted to
know why the order had not been placed at two
of the pizza parlors owned by parishioners. My
colleague said she hadn’t really thought of it. My
pastor explained that the owners of the places
he mentioned not only were parishioners, they
supported the parish with ads in the bulletin and
were also vendors at our yearly Fall Festival. He
made it clear that the next receipt he saw for pizza
needed to be from one of those two places. There
began my colleague’s education in the importance
of the extended parish community.
These two pizza parlors were not just places that
supported our parish. Due to encouragement
from our pastor and the staff, they remain to this
day gathering places for parishioners. Also, large
numbers of parishioners go to doctors, dentists,
and insurance agents that belong to our parish.
It is about more than patronizing those who can
support the parish with gifts of treasure or buy ads
in a bulletin. It is about a traditional view of taking
care of one’s own.
Of course, not every supporting business to a
parish is owned or run by a parishioner. However,
we must remember that every business that chooses
to align itself with a Catholic community due to
some form of financial or substantive support has
done so willingly and without reservation. Not
all faith communities are the same, and not all
businesses are the same either. This reality became
clear to me about 15 years ago when I was soliciting
donations of food for our yearly Our Lady of
Guadalupe party. Every year we would approach
Mexican restaurants in the area for donations of
ethnic cuisine for our party. We began with our
bulletin advertisers and any establishment that
had supported us in some in the past. This year
I decided to visit a new eatery in town to ask
for support. When I said where I was from, the
manager told me the restaurant was owned by
Christians, and since we were Catholic and not
really Christians, they would rather not donate
anything. That day I learned that an advertisement
in a bulletin or a donation of product to a parish
event was more than just an exchange of goods or
part of a marketing plan. It was about relationships.
And I realized that if a business was going to
choose to align itself with our community, we had
a responsibility to support them just like they had
supported us.
Bound for Heaven, But Living in the World
I have always appreciated being a Catholic because our worldview does not cut us off from the world.
To the contrary, as good stewards we see all that has been given to us as gift. The material world is not
a fleeting reality filled with meaningless temporal things. We live in a world given to us by God and
we decide if things of this world will be used for good or not. We have the power to claim things and
experiences for Christ.
The extension of our community into the workplaces of those who are with us or support us is more
important than we sometimes realize. To show good faith in a relationship with a business can easily
become an opportunity for evangelization. I have witnessed several conversions due to our pastor and
parishioners frequenting an establishment. If you recall the two pizza places mentioned previously, one of
them is owned by a family that for years never went to church. I remember how when their children were
younger then would show up every few years, seeking a letter for permission so one of their little ones
could receive First Communion in Italy. It bothered me, but our pastor at the time would sign the letter
anyway. When our current pastor arrived and we really turned our stewardship way of life into overdrive,
we were encouraged at every turn to make this family feel a part of our family by patronizing them. We
were encouraged not to see this relationship as just some temporal arrangement that would pass away. This
family claimed to be in our parish and did support the community through the bulletin and donations of
food to events, and regardless of Mass attendance at the time, we were connected through more than money
and food. After some time, they began to be seen from time to time. Today, they NEVER miss a Sunday and
are active in the faith life of the parish. One member of the family has even been an RCIA sponsor! We must
never be fooled into believing that what we see or experience has only a worldly dimension. All of life has a
spiritual dimension, and by inviting God to be more present in our everyday experiences, the ordinary can
become extraordinary.
