Amazing Parish with Fr. Michael Andrade

The Amazing Parish is a movement to help pastors become stronger leaders for their parishes and lead the Faithful closer to God. They provide pastors with one-on-one coaching and team building to better serve their parishes. Pastors who seek to improve skillsets in their vocation can connect with other pastors and walk together towards a healthy direction of leadership.  

Fr. Michael Andrade, Pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, Clovis, was introduced to Amazing Parish through a friend of his – a priest of the Diocese of Oakland. His friend was experiencing great support as a new pastor from Amazing Parish and encouraged him to get involved. 

“Amazing Parish has helped me to better understand my unique role as a leader in my parish and given me the support and tools needed to thrive. It has helped me to articulate a vision and bring others on board so that we can all walk together in the mission that Jesus has for us,” Fr. Michael states.  

Amazing Parish holds summits to gather pastors and parish leaders together with a goal of building stronger teamwork, faith and personal growth to transform the Church. Fr. Michael recently attended their Denver 2022 Summit in June.  

“The highlight of the Denver Summit for me was when Archbishop Sample spoke with great openness about his ongoing transformation in Christ. His witness encouraged me to allow Christ's healing grace to flow more deeply into my own life and enflamed my pastoral desire to share the healing power of Jesus with my parishioners,” Fr. Michael Andrade states.  

Amazing Parish provides a space for pastors and parish leaders to share their relationship with Christ to then open up to their parishioners.
