Formation & Renewal

The Rescue Project

We live in a moment marked by unprecedented noise, division, and anxiety—in the world and in the Church. Yet God is neither nervous nor surprised. He has placed us in this exact time for a purpose.

Recovering the Explosive Power of the Gospel

Developed by Fr. John Riccardo and the team at ACTS XXIX, The Rescue Project is an immersive experience designed to help us cut through cultural noise and reclaim a truly biblical worldview. Watch the overview video below:


The Core Story

The Four Chapters of Salvation History

Chapter 1

Created

You were created out of sheer love, not chance. God crafted humanity to live in deep, intimate relationship and peace with Him.

Chapter 2

Captured

Humanity fell under the bondage of sin, fear, and death—forces we were powerless to break on our own strength.

Chapter 3

Rescued

Jesus entered the arena of human history. Through His Passion, Cross, and Resurrection, He launched a decisive rescue mission for our souls.

Chapter 4

Response

How will we respond to this news? Because rescued people rescue people, we are called and sent out to share His victory.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish." — Proverbs 29:18

Clarity of Mission for Urgent Times

At St. Patrick’s, our vision is deep parish renewal—recovering clarity on the mission of Jesus, the mission of the Church, and the personal mission of every disciple. The Rescue Project is not just a study module; it is an intensive, prophetic moment of formation for our community.

A Discerned Step in Our Pathway of Discipleship

Because The Rescue Project is an intensive formation experience aimed at deep conversion and parish leadership, cohorts at St. Patrick’s are prayerfully discerned and invited as part of our ongoing pathway of faith.

If you are exploring faith or looking to take your first steps with our parish family, we warmly invite you to join us for Alpha, gather with us for Mass, or connect with our pastoral team.
