Parish Renewal
Thanks to all who agreed to help with the parish renewal program—we will be having a meeting about the renewal program for anyone interested this Thursday 25th Jan at 1900 in the hall.
Please continue to pray about and read up on the renewal program more details at: www.divinerenovation.org
The Divine Renovation program has 3 key principles
1) The absolute primacy of evangelization—we have to prioritise looking out and proclaiming the Gospel
2) Strong leadership principles—using the gifts and talents of everyone through empowering leadership in our parish
3) Openness to the Holy Spirit—ultimately the work of renewal is God’s work and has to come from Him—we simply have to enable and be open to the work of the Spirit.
