Invitation from our bishops

"Our world is hungry for good news, for hope."

Its my prayer that every parish in New Zealand might be represented at this gathering. I look forward to greeting you in October. I can promise you an experience that will be life giving, and I pray, prophetic, for the future of the Church in this country.

"I recommend the Hope and Renewal Summit..."

"We have the best news: Jesus loves you, he died for you and he wants to spend eternity with you. We know this, we need to be reminded of this, and most importantly we need to share this hope-filled message. I recommend the Hope and Renewal Summit as one of the best ways to be reminded of this good news and how to share this message of hope with others.”
Bishop Michael Gielen of the Diocese of Christchurch at the Hope and Renewal Summit, co-hosted by Divine Renovation.

Is this just for leaders?

What if I'm not a "leader"?

You might not have a title. But if you love the Church and want to see it thrive — you’re already leading.

Many Catholics sit back because they don’t think they’re “qualified.” But as the saying goes: God doesn’t call the qualified — He qualifies the called.
