"Disappointment is not always a bad thing. In our case, it became a kind of catalyst for our competitive natures and core conviction that church ought to work. Christ promised it would work. Despite our original lack of interest, we found ourselves increasingly intrigued by the problems we were discovering and eventually eager to rise to the challenge. How could we stem the decline, revive our parish, and actually start making it grow? Int he face of so much failure, how could we succeed?" (Rebuilt, Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran, p. 26)
