Priests and active parishioners across Canada want to see their parishes come alive. The problem is that changing the way we “do church” can be intimidating, especially without having seen relevant examples of parishes doing things differently.
The truth is, our parishes exist to do more than just maintain the status quo–they exist to evangelize and bring people to Jesus!
We get it–prioritizing mission over maintenance can feel scary. This is why Divine Renovation has been accompanying hundreds of priests and parish leaders across the world as they transform their parishes through proven strategies and principles for parish renewal.
Join us at our upcoming event, DR Unlocked: Corner Brook and Labrador, where you will:
Learn about the 3 Keys to Unlocking Your Parish
Be equipped for mission through practical workshops and resources
Hear from speakers, Eric Myatt and Alex Lee Hoy
Connect with a growing community of learning in the space of parish renewal
Be inspired to dream of what’s possible for your parish

Engage in powerful worship and prayer.

Set in the peaceful surroundings of the Franciscan Centre Ladywell, this retreat will help you rediscover the joy of priesthood, refocus your vision, and deepen your reliance on the Holy Spirit.
