International Conference on Parish Renewal 6th & 7th May

This conference is about more than ideas—it is about a shift.
On Day One, we explore how a parish can move from maintenance to mission through evangelisation, discipleship, and a renewed vision of parish life.
On Day Two, we turn to the future: understanding today’s young people, building ministries that truly reach them, and leading them into a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.
Together, these two days offer both a vision and a pathway—for parishes that long to grow, and for a Church ready to be renewed.
