Divine Renovation Ministry

Divine Renovation Ministry is a registered charity whose mission is to inspire connect and equip Catholic parishes to move from maintenance to mission helping them become centers of evangelization and discipleship. During the fiscal period the Ministry continued to deliver a range of charitable programs focused on parish renewal and leadership development: DR Coaching Programs: We offered ongoing coaching for parish priests and leadership teams through structured programs that were delivered in both group and one-to-one formats and served parishes and diocesan leaders. Events and Learning Opportunities: We hosted several national and international events including online webinars in-person conferences and parish open-house events. These gatherings fostered peer learning spiritual renewal and practical formation for parish leaders. Bishop Forums and Diocesan Training: We facilitated engagement with bishops and diocesan staff through curated sessions designed to explore pathways for parish renewal across regions. Regional Accompaniment: Our Regional Leads continued to accompany priests and parish teams through relationship-based coaching and consultation. In regions and languages where we do not yet have staff capacity Parish Renewal Guides—a developing volunteer innovation—helped deliver facilitated content such as the Genesis Compass. Resource Development: We created and distributed multimedia resources and strategic frameworks to equip parishes in their renewal journey. This included written guides videos and planning tools aligned with our mission. In 2024 we expanded our work by launching new initiatives and events aligned with our long-term goal of supporting 33 000 missional parishes by 2033: Major Online Event – 'Re-Presenting Jesus': We hosted our largest event to date drawing over 8 000 participants worldwide. Speakers included Fr. James Mallon (Divine Renovation) Nicky and Pippa Gumbel (Alpha) and Jonathan Roumie (The Chosen). The ev
