Coaching and tools to help your church escape maintenance mode, reclaim its purpose, and get back on track for mission.
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.

Is your parish forming disciples activated for mission? Or is it stuck, serving only those already in the pews?
Your parish matters now more than ever: there's a world that counts on you to bring Jesus' presence to them.
How can your parish step up and send out missionary disciples?
Join Fr. George Elsbett, Stephen Foster, and Pippa Baker on Wednesday, 17th April at 7 PM London in our free online event, Sent or Stuck: Where are your people going?
🇬🇧 Catholic Parish Summit
June 12-14, 2024 • Harrogate, UK
Sending disciples. Equipping leaders. Launching transformation. The Catholic Parish Summit is about inspiring parish leaders with a vision of a renewed Church that is missionary and apostolic at its core, and equipping them to cast off their parishes into mission — so that they can bring people to Jesus.
If you’re involved in parish ministry in any way, this summit is for you.
Whether you’re a priest, pastoral worker, bishop, ministry leader, deacon, or a Catholic who desires more for your parish — there’s a seat for you at CPS. Register today!
