“I felt like God was saying, ‘You don’t have to know everything… just show up.’”

In this story, Wendy shares how her journey through Alpha at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish transformed her understanding of God, the Church, and herself. After years of searching for belonging and struggling with spiritual roadblocks, she encountered Jesus not only as Saviour — but as friend.

Wendy's story is a powerful reminder of how Jesus continues to transform lives today.

What happens when priests and lay leaders share responsibility for the mission of the Church?

At St. John Neumann Parish in Austin, a diverse Parish Leadership Team is helping renew parish culture through shared vision, healthy leadership, and a clear focus on evangelization.

A hopeful example of the gifts already present in our parishes — and what can happen when those gifts are called forth for the sake of mission.

What happens when a parish embraces mission over maintenance?

At St. Ignatius of Loyola in Montreal, a culture of evangelization, shared leadership, and missionary discipleship has transformed parish life over the past decade.

More people encountering Jesus. More young adults. More engagement.

What does it look like for a parish to live its missionary identity?

Yesterday, over 100 leaders from the Greater Owensboro area in Kentucky came together to reflect, learn, and share — from Alpha to small groups, leadership teams, and building a culture of evangelization.

Grateful to all who made it possible.

When Fr. Antoine Laviale encountered Divine Renovation as a seminarian, it changed how he saw the priesthood — and what a parish could become.

Today in Toulouse, he’s forming young people into missionary disciples through Alpha, raising up leaders, and sending them out to share the Gospel.

A powerful day in Limerick 🇮🇪

Priests from across the diocese gathered with Bishop Brendan Leahy to explore parish renewal — with input from Fr. Conor McGrath and Dr. Hannah Vaughan-Spruce.

One priest expected “more to do”… but instead found a vision for leading differently.

Please keep these priests in your prayers. 🙏

[Divine Renovation Ministry @DivReno]

"The mission of the Church 'is not its own survival, but the communication of the love with which God loves the world.'"

In his recent letter, Pope Leo asks the world's Cardinals to shift from maintenance to mission.

On this #EasterSunday, the Church rejoices in the Resurrection of the Lord. From all of us at Divine Renovation, we wish you all a #HappyEaster!

"The cross stands empty in a world grown silent
Through hours of anguish and of dread
In stillness earth awaits the resurrection
While Christ goes down to wake the dead."
#HolySaturday

“In every time and place, evangelization always has as its starting and finishing points Jesus Christ, the Son of God; and the Crucifix is the supremely distinctive sign of he who announces the Gospel: a sign of love." Pope Benedict XVI

[Divine Renovation Ministry @DivReno]

This #HolyThursday, we remember the institution of the Eucharist and the priesthood. We pray in a particular way for our priests, that in giving themselves in service to God’s people, they may be continually renewed by the mystery they celebrate.
