Resources
Manchester Diocese produces lots of resources to help with growing your congregation. Contact the Communications Department for more information. Here are some of the materials available.
Luv 'em booklet
Luv 'em is full of ideas for your church on attracting and working with young people and their families in whatever shape, in whatever context.
Diocesan Calendar
The Annual Report Calendar, produced each year and running from April to April, is an excellent resource. It details important events and contains lots of information on the bishop's key mission goals of growing congregations, increasing giving and serving the community.
Copies are sent to each parish in March and further copies are available on request.
