Update: This event has been rescheduled to February 2, 2027 to coincide with The Alpha Conference.
What does it look like in a parish when mission comes first?
Join Divine Renovation, Alpha, and St. Joseph's Parish at Made for Mission
Many Catholics look at their parish and wonder: Can parish life be more than just “getting by”? They long to see people encounter Jesus, build meaningful relationships, and experience a parish that is alive with faith and purpose.
Made for Mission is a one-day experience hosted by Divine Renovation, Alpha USA Catholic Context, and St. Joseph Catholic Church, designed to help priests and parish leaders reimagine what is possible for their parish. Through inspiring stories, practical insights, and meaningful connections with other leaders, you’ll discover how parishes can move from maintenance to mission and become places where disciples are formed and lives are transformed.
Join us in Placentia, CA, on February 2 to be encouraged, equipped, and inspired for the journey ahead.
