The Divine Renovation Ministry was birthed out of Fr. Mallon’s real parish renewal experiences. Together with the team at Saint Benedict Parish in Halifax, Canada, he transformed their parish into a vibrant community of missionary disciples. Today, the ministry with its events, books, coaching, and resources inspires and equips leaders around the world so that they can move their parish from maintenance to mission.
At the heart of the Divine Renovation game plan is Alpha, and for the first time ever, Alpha Africa, together with Catholic leaders in South Africa, hosted the Divine Renovation Conferences in the country in August 2018.
The events, held in the cities of Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town attracted about 1000 delegates across the three cities. These were made up of 150 catholic clergy, including two archbishops, three bishops, and over 800 lay leaders from across South Africa. There were also key representatives from dioceses in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
