These eight Catholic parishes are featured in the recently published book Excellent Catholic Parishes: A Guide to Best Places and Practices by Paul Wilkes, from Paulist Press. Clergy and lay people from these parishes will lead workshops at the Pastoral Summit, May 30-June 1, 2001.

The book also contains an index of 300 additional excellent American parishes, which will be available on this website this summer.
