What is Gospel.Link?

This site is an experiment in presenting the Gospel in an engaging way to help Catholics and seekers consider it in a new light. 
  • We offer resources for reflecting on a different aspect of our faith as a message series, over a period of weeks.
  • We connect this learning to the weekly lectionary readings, and provide tips for optionally connecting our series to preaching or other lectionary-based programs. 
  • We seek to use language, media, and insights that will speak even to those who are not currently engaged in their faith.
  • We provide a web page for each week in a series which can be easily shared with those who are engaged in your parish, but more importantly also with those who are not.

Message Series

The wonderful thing about presenting an aspect of the Gospel over a period of weeks is that it allows us to go deeper and reinforce part of the Good News. Protestant churches have preached in series for many years, and Church of the Nativity has gained attention for sharing in Rebuilt how this approach in their Catholic parish.

But this approach is not completely foreign to most Catholics. It is largely how our liturgical seasons work, and many of us have experienced powerful "parish missions" that work through a faith topic over a series of presentations. Our team has experience developing Catholic message series since 2003.

How do I use This in my Parish?

There are a variety of ways that you can integrate a Gospel.link series into your parish. See the leader pages for more information.
  • Paste one of our free inserts into your parish bulletin.
  • The most effective way to share the weekly web reflections is to send an email with a direct link to that week's page. Insert our series image and weekly description into the email.
  • Use our weekly leader notes to inform preaching, teaching, and other parts of parish life for the week. This is not required, but can be a powerful approach.
  • Use the weekly pages and questions for the week as a basis for faith-sharing groups.
  • Purchase one of our print or electronic resources for other options: for faith-sharing/small groups, homiletic/teaching aids, parent handouts, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does it cost? Gospel.Link is currently completely free for use by individuals, parishes, and schools. If you want to support our future work, however, you can make a donation below. 
  • Will this work if my priest won't change his preaching? Sure! There is no requirement that preaching has to change in your community. If you have strong preaching based on the readings, our series should be complementary. That said, preaching that is more closely coordinated with the series can make for a more powerful experience.
  • Can I use Gospel.Link if I am not Catholic? Individuals and faith communities that are not Catholic are welcome to use the site. However, we come from a Roman Catholic perspective and quote Catholic leaders and documents.
