Divine Renovation Ministry

"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. vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2…

Christ, our hope, has risen. Alleluia! 🙏 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

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.

After Covid, attendance at Our Lady of the Assumption dropped by half. It would have been easy to focus on what was lost. Instead, they asked a different question: 👉 Who is God calling us to become now? What followed wasn’t reinvention — but renewal.

“Joseph is the man who has given to God the greatest proof of his trust in all of history.” — Pope Benedict XVI St. Joseph shows us that mission begins with trust and fidelity to God's will. He received Jesus, protected Jesus, and made space for God’s plan to unfold — without needing to see the outcome. On this Solemnity, we ask for the same courage to trust. St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, pray for us. 🙏

He came looking for sacraments for his son. He found a community — and a mission. Through Alpha, leadership, and saying “yes” to serving, Adam’s view of parish life changed completely. “Playing a small part in a much bigger thing is very rewarding.” #DivineRenovation #TryAlpha

“We couldn’t just adjust programs. We needed clarity about who we are and why we exist.” At St. Joseph in Placentia, CA, that clarity is taking shape in one shared purpose: evangelization. divinerenovation.org/blog/one-commo…
