The message of Divine Renovation has resonated in the hearts of tens of thousands of pastors and the laity throughout the world. It has inspired and motivated them to act and seek help in transforming their own faith community.  To answer their needs, the Divine Renovation Ministry was created.  Fr James serves the Archdiocese with half of his time and serves in the Divine Renovation Ministry with the other half of his time.
