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.

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?

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

Join Father James Mallon and Fiona O'Reilly as they discuss the document 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?

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.
