"A Pastor's Toolbox 2 is an invaluable resource and a welcome addition to any parish library!"
Most Rev. Bernard Hebda, Archbishop of Minneapolis-St. Paul The first volume of A Pastor's Toolbox was received with gratitude and enthusiasm by priests and bishops across the country. This second can, indeed, help any new pastor as he approaches the management of his parish. As a companion to the first, new and seasoned pastors have the answers to so many questions regarding parochial leadership. I have seen firsthand the positive difference the first edition has made and can heartily recommend both volumes!Cardinal Joseph Tobin, C.Ss.R., Archbishop of Newark Once again the Leadership Roundtable has produced a resource guide for those involved in church/parish management. Like the first volume, this work continues to build upon the foundation of that workshop. Offering guidance and direction that benefits a priest administrator daily in his ministry, it is a book that should be gifted to every new pastor-if not every newly ordained priest.Rev. John M. McCrone, Director, Continuing Formation and Sabbaticals, Archdiocese of Newark
