Join us at an upcoming DR Open House!

You want your parish to come alive. But without seeing the example of other parishes doing things differently, it’s difficult to see what’s possible.

If you’re a priest or active parishioner and you want more for your parish, join us at our next DR Open House!

What is DR Open House?

DR Open House is an event hosted by a parish implementing Divine Renovation’s principles of parish renewal.

It is a chance for surrounding parishes to be inspired by the stories of priests and parishioners who have experienced transformation in their parishes by pursuing mission.

At the DR Open House, you will:

  • Connect with parishes that have come alive by pursuing mission
  • Learn tips on parish renewal that you can apply to your own parish
  • Have the opportunity to speak with the Divine Renovation team
  • Be encouraged by seeing hope for what’s possible!

Did you know?

Divine Renovation is not a programme or a specific set of things to implement in your parish. Rather, it’s about three principles or keys that help parishes move from maintenance to mission:

  1. Reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit

  2. The primacy of evangelisation

  3. Having the best of leadership principles

These three keys to parish renewal are being lived out in parishes around the world and are bearing fruit in transformed lives and deeper parishioner engagement.

If you would like to see for yourself, coming to a DR Open House is the perfect place to begin.

The Three Keys to Parish Renewal

Get 3 practical principles you can begin to use this week to move your parish from maintenance to mission.

“One of the things about engaging with Divine Renovation is a concern that this is going to mould us into something that we are not, but actually what this does is it helps us to be the best of who we are and show us where the Lord is leading us.”

-Fr. Jim Duggan (St. Charles Borromeo, Paisley, UK)
