what is Divine Renovation?
Divine Renovation is a Catholic ministry and movement that helps parishes move from maintenance to mission by fostering a culture of evangelization, leadership, and discipleship. It’s rooted in the belief that the Church is called to grow—not just in numbers, but in spiritual vitality and missionary outreach.From Maintenance to Mission
At St. John Neumann, we’re embracing a bold and Spirit-led vision for the future of our parish community. Inspired by the Divine Renovation movement, we are committed to becoming a missional parish—one where faith is alive, disciples are formed, and people are empowered to go out and share the love of Christ.
What Is Divine Renovation?
Divine Renovation is more than a program—it’s a parish renewal movement that helps churches like ours return to the heart of the Gospel: making disciples.
Based on the best-selling book Divine Renovation: From a Maintenance to a Missional Parish by Fr. James Mallon, this approach blends:Evangelization: Boldly sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Leadership: Raising up lay and clergy leaders who serve with vision and purpose.
The Power of the Holy Spirit: Seeking transformation through prayer, worship, and spiritual gifts.
What This Means for You
Our parish is taking intentional steps to:
Foster a welcoming and vibrant community
Develop small groups where faith can grow
Equip and empower lay leaders
Prioritize Sunday as a powerful encounter with God
Move from simply preserving tradition to actively living the mission
Get Involved
You’re invited to be part of this renewal! Whether through prayer, service, small groups, or leadership, there’s a place for everyone in this movement.
“A Church that doesn’t evangelize becomes a museum.”
— Pope Francis
