Your parish was made for mission.
After all, Jesus didn’t give the Church a mission — He gave his mission a Church. The trouble is (and this is hard to hear), most parishes are living through an identity crisis: they’ve forgotten their purpose.
And so congregations are shrinking.
Parishes are aging.
Priests are discouraged and disengaging.
But that’s not the end of the story. Resurrection is.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, you can bring life back to your parish and people to Jesus.

Imagine a parish where...
- Lives are transformed as people encounter Jesus in a very personal way.
- Parishioners are discipled to grow into their missionary identity.
- New people come, bringing new passion and energy to the parish.
- Priests can share their responsibility of leadership with a dedicated team.
- A strong leadership culture empowers volunteers to step up.
- Everyone has the opportunity to serve out of their individual gifts and strengths.
Unlock radical change in your parish.
Although every parish is unique, these Three Keys to Parish Renewal have transformed hundreds of them.
The Power of the Holy Spirit
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, transformative renewal happens and parishes come to life.
The Primacy of Evangelization
When evangelization is the focus and people encounter Jesus, parishes grow.
The Best of Leadership
When parish leaders serve out of the best leadership principles, parishes thrive.
Parish renewal isn't easy.
But you don't have to do it alone.
We accompany priests and lay leaders who desire to see their parish come alive by providing them with the tools and coaching they need to bring renewal.
Inspired by Fr. James Mallon’s book Divine Renovation and following the example of missional parishes, we’ve come to understand what’s necessary to turn parishes around. And since 2016, we’ve shared our experience with parish leaders around the world so they can bring their parish from maintenance to mission.
We can’t wait to see what God does through your church.
Transformation is happening now.
Divine Renovation is a donor-funded ministry.
Money should never be a barrier to the pursuit of renewal. Thanks to our generous supporters, we’re able to come alongside priests and parishes at no charge.
Together, we can create a tipping point of change in the Church.
Our events help you make that happen.

🇦🇺 The Art of the Ask: How your invitation becomes evangelisation
Thursday May 8, 2025 - 6 PM SYD | 4 PM WA | 8 PM NZ
We like to think of our churches as welcoming—but how welcoming can we be if we don’t take our welcome beyond our walls? Millions are waiting for an invitation to encounter Jesus, and yet so many of us hesitate to extend one. Why? What holds us back?
Join Michael Harvey, founder of Back to Church Sunday, for a powerful online event that will equip your parish to break through fear and embrace a culture of invitation. Drawing from decades of experience across 18 countries, Michael will challenge us to rethink evangelization and rediscover the simple, transformational act of inviting.
🌎 Leading Parishes in the Apostolic Age
Friday May 30, 2025 - 2 PM Central | 8 PM BST | (Saturday May 31) 5 AM Sydney
How can parish leaders navigate an increasingly secular world? Join Monsignor James Shea and Father James Mallon as they lead a 75 minute thought-provoking discussion on embracing the Apostolic Age and revitalizing parish life for mission. This engaging conversation will explore the transition from Christendom to the Apostolic Age and its impact on today’s Church. Drawing from Monsignor Shea’s influential work, From Christendom to Apostolic Mission, and Fr. James Mallon’s hands-on experience in parish renewal, this online event will inspire you to reimagine ministry in a changing culture.
