The American Parish Project (TAPP), led by Drs. Gary Adler, Brian Starks, and myself, recently generated a newsletter summarizing new research discussed at this summer’s Seminar on the American Parish.

This newsletter went out to all U.S. dioceses with the aim of generating engaged conversations around the usefulness of sociology to understanding Catholic parishes and Catholic life.

Much of the research summarized here, moreover, will appear in the chapters of a forthcoming edited volume on the sociology of the American Catholic parish.
