Parish and Diocese Evangelization Consulting & Support

"The parish in and through all of its activities, should animate its members to become agents of the New Evangelization, witnessing through both their words and their lives" (XIII Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops)

Whether you're a parish leader, diocesan staff member, or Catholic school educator, we know the call to form missionary disciples can feel overwhelming—especially when you're already stretched thin. That's where we come in.

At Burning Hearts Disciples, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all programs. Instead, we walk with you to help form a culture of intentional discipleship that fits your unique community. Through strategic planning, hands-on formation, and ongoing accompaniment, we help:

  • Clarify your mission and identify practical next steps
  • Equip leaders, councils, and staff to live and lead as disciples
  • Form teams to accompany others in faith and deepen evangelization efforts
  • Offer inspiration, accountability, and support as you respond to the Church’s call to mission

Whether you're preparing for a single parish retreat or launching a multi-year evangelization initiative, we're here to help you build a plan rooted in prayer, guided by the Spirit, and shaped for real people in your pews.

We're Here to Walk With You
UMD2

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in maintenance mode, or just unsure where to begin, we’re here to walk alongside you.

At Burning Hearts Disciples, our deepest desire is to support you—your leaders, your staff, and your entire community—as you seek to follow Jesus more intentionally. We believe the work of evangelization is always relational, never one-size-fits-all. That’s why we begin by listening and accompany you in discerning what will serve your unique mission best.

Whether you're planning a single retreat or charting a long-term path toward missionary discipleship, we're honored to journey with you. This isn’t about offering a prepackaged solution. It’s about helping your community become who God is calling you to be—together.
