Feel your parish
come alive.
Training and leadership coaching to help Catholic churches escape maintenance-mode and become missional movements.

To the world, hope seems in short supply.
But inside our churches, we know otherwise: Hope is abundant, because Jesus is with us. The trouble is (and this is hard to hear), the Church has lost its enthusiasm for sharing that Truth.
And so parishes are aging.
Congregations are shrinking.
Priests are discouraged and disengaging.
But that’s not the end of the story. Resurrection is.
Together, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can bring life back to parishes and people to Jesus.
Imagine a faith community where...
- Hurting people discover how deeply God desires a relationship with them.
- Young families bring new energy and excitement to the parish.
- We feel welcome, known, and loved—and can't wait to invite others to experience the same.
- Vibrant worship experiences draw new people to Jesus.
- We work together to bring healing to our broken world.
- All of us have opportunities to unleash our gifts and talents for Kingdom purposes.
Unlock radical change in your parish.

Church renewal isn't easy.
You don't have to go it alone.
The Divine Renovation team includes congregants, lay leaders, pastors, and priests who’ve been right where you are: longing for more for the Church but unsure how to get there.
Following Fr. James Mallon’s groundbreaking model established in his book, Divine Renovation, we’ve come to understand what’s necessary to turn parishes around. And since 2016, we’ve shared our experience with church leaders all over the world so they can bring their parish from maintenance to mission.
We can’t wait to see what God does through your church.

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.
Your Church needs your voice.
Our events equip and empower you to share it.

Leading Through Resistance: Handling Pushback with Humility and Conviction
Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023: 1 PM Eastern
Priests and their leadership teams want their parish vision to take root.
The hard reality is that with resistance to a changing parish, it can feel like going back to the status quo is the easier option. It's true–dealing with pushback against vision can be difficult. At this month’s FTT, where you will:
- Hear from Fr. Mark Begly on how to revitalize the people in the pews
- Learn practical ways you can double-down on casting vision amidst resistance
- Receive advice on handling negative feedback and opposition, proactively.
So, register today!
