ABOUT THE SUMMIT

Renewed & Sent Summit

A national gathering for priests, parish teams, and lay people seeking renewal in parish life and mission.

About renewed & SENT?

A gathering for parish renewal in Australia

Renewed & Sent is a national summit that brings together priests, parish teams, and lay people who care deeply about the future of parish life. Over two days, participants will hear from experienced leaders, learn from real stories of renewal, and explore practical ideas that can help their own communities grow in mission.

Whether you are just beginning to ask what renewal could look like, or already leading change in your parish, the summit offers space to listen, reflect, and take the next step with others.

Why This Gathering Exists?

Many Parish Leaders Are Asking the Same Questions

Across Australia, many parishes are navigating a common pastoral reality.

  • Fewer people are engaging beyond the sacraments.
  • Burnout and isolation among parish leaders are real.
  • Clear and effective pathways for renewal can be difficult to find.

 

Yet in the midst of this reality, something else is also true: parish renewal is possible, and it is already happening.

Renewed & Sent exists to create a space where parish leaders can learn from others, explore practical pathways for renewal, and rediscover the parish’s missionary identity.

THE VISION

A Church Fully Alive in Mission

Renewed & Sent is part of a growing movement of parish renewal that helps communities rediscover the Church’s missionary identity.

Across Australia and around the world, many parishes are discovering that renewal is possible when leadership, prayer, and evangelisation are placed at the heart of parish life.

Our hope is for a Church where:

 

Priests and lay leaders are empowered as apostolic leaders

Parishes become places of encounter and transformation

Evangelisation becomes not simply a programme, but a way of life

 

If you long to see your parish more fully alive in mission, Renewed & Sent is a gathering for you.
