In the fourth part of our series on the Vatican document on evangelization and parish renewal, Fr. James Mallon and Fiona O'Reilly speak into some of the obstacles within this document. This complex document created over so many years with the input of so many leaders means that there can be a degree of confusion and in this part of our discussion, we talk about some of the places we know that parishes might struggle in adopting this document or where the document itself might miss the mark.

Divine Renovation Podcast

Serving Mission | Part 4

The third part of our conversation between Fr. James Mallon and Fiona O'Reilly discusses the importance of the structure and our ways of working. In our ministry, we talk a lot about maintenance to mission and this document focuses on this idea in a significant way. This document speaks into not just mission but also has enough of a focus on how to give parishes a place to start from.   How does this document distinguish between vision and a plan?

Serving Mission | Part 3

Join Father James Mallon and Fiona O'Reilly as they dig deeper into the first section of the Vatican's document on pastoral conversion.

Serving Mission | Part 2

Join Father James Mallon and Fiona O'Reilly as they discuss the document recently released from the Vatican, "The pastoral conversion of the parish community in the service of the evangelizing mission of the church".  What impact does this document have on the Church and how does our work at Divine Renovation align with this new clarification on mission?

Serving Mission | Part 1

At Divine Renovation, we lean heavily into teams. In fact, we don’t think that a parish can move from maintenance to mission without building strong leadership teams. This week on the podcast, join Mike Tanner, Ron Huntley, Dan O’Rourke, and Rob McDowell as they come together to share their thoughts on why teams are so important and how parishes can actually form and grow successful teams. During our current season, it’s important to stay connected and when you’ve got a strong team around you, that connectivity is inevitable.

Why is Parish Leadership a Team Sport?

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED PRIOR TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. Life is hard for young adults and it's even harder for those that wish to pursue a relationship with Jesus Christ. Christian ideals are constantly under attack from the media and aggressively secular culture. Domenic Inneo of Souled Out Ministry joins us for part two of our conversation on how we can reach young people and share the gospel with them and why this is such an important mission.

Know Him. Love Him. Serve Him. Youth Ministry with Domenic Inneo | Part 1

THIS PODCAST WAS RECORDED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BEFORE TEAMS BEGAN SOCIAL DISTANCING AND REMOTE WORK Rob McDowell and Father James Mallon come together with Dan O’Rourke to dig into sacramental theology. The team works through some of the mistakes that we’ve made in the way we’ve handled sacraments in the history of the Church. Many show up for sacraments knowing full well that they don’t believe what they do or what they say. In these moments, there is no encounter. Are we doing what we’re supposed to be doing or what we think we’re supposed to be doing? Why have we focused on catechesis over evangelization in the Church? Do many of these issues stem from a bad translation? This is a great conversation for leaders looking to make a real shift from maintenance to mission.

Is Online Church Still Church?

This week on the podcast things get exciting as  Dan O'Rourke, Father James Mallon, and Rob McDowell discuss the evangelization efforts of parishes and whether those systems are fruitful or ill-fated.

What does giving have to do with mission? This week on the podcast, join Dan O’Rourke, Father Simon Lobo, Rob McDowell, and Mike Tanner in a conversation on the topic of giving and how money is tied to mission. Whether you are a pastor trying to grow giving in your parish or a parishioner trying to understand the need for giving in the church this is a great conversation on a topic that no one seems to want to have a conversation about.  Talking about money can be hard for some people so the team unpacks what it means to be a missional giver.
