JOSEPH LYNCH, S.M. spent his life "reaching out" to adolescents as a high school teacher and more recently to adults who are seeking to grow in a contemporary understanding of their faith.  He has been involved in the creation of diocesan programs for ongoing lay leadership education.

Fr. Joe Lynch is known to many lay and ordained leaders and others in the Diocese of Rockville Center and elsewhere.  Among other things, Fr. Joe worked closely with the diocese's "Institute of Pastoral Formation of the Laity" and with the leadership of Long Island Voice of the Faithful, sharing insights and skills for effective communication as "tools for the journey". 

What endorsers of this book have to say:

Msgr. Vincent Rush "...Make it your guide for what to pay attention to, what to let go of, and how to work on a team with others"  

Francois Pierre-Louis, Ph.D. "…this is a 'must read' for Catholics as well as all those who want to strengthen their community."

Maureen Jessnik RSM   "...provides a tool box of helpful insights designed to engage readers in fruitful discussions that lead to effective, evangelizing action...Thoughtful, practical and motivating... A resource parish leaders will welcome and consult often."

 Rev. Msgr. Bill Hanson   "...A day does not go by that I do not use a practical pastoral tool he taught me.  To have his wisdom in a book is a real treasure for anyone in pastoral work."

Rudy Vargas IV "..[Joe] invites the reader to step forward with faith to meet the challenges of pastoral planning and evangelization in a new and exciting time in the Church's history."
