Welcome to RENEW International
We help build small Christian communities to transform
the Church so the Church can transform the world.

RENEW
has been building communion, participation, and mission in the Church for almost 50 years!
RENEW International works with dioceses and parishes to train leaders and accompany them as they attract parishioners to share their faith in small groups and grow their parish into a community of communities. We provide the groups with faith-sharing materials that include scripture, personal reflection, and prayer. These materials help parishioners experience church as a gathering of disciples of Jesus Christ rather than a solitary experience. Our resources encourage participants to respond to Jesus’ teaching with acts that make the parish itself an engine of generosity, compassion, and justice.

Custom Focus for your Diocese
RENEW International has customized work for individual dioceses. Contact us to discuss your diocese's needs.
ARISE Together in Christ
A Focus on Discipleship
ARISE Together in Christ is a parish-centered process of spiritual renewal and evangelization that invites people to develop a closer relationship with Christ, deepen their faith, grow in community, and reach out in service to others.
Be My Witness
A Focus on Evangelization
Be My Witness is a Christ-centered, Spirit-led approach to forming disciples for the New Evangelization. Engage and form your priests, staff, parish leaders, and parishioners to create an ever-widening circle of commitment to Christ's mission.
Why Catholic?
A Focus on Adult Faith Formation
Why Catholic? Journey through the Catechism offers a concrete approach to help adults form their Catholic faith and connect its teachings to their everyday lives. With its thorough and systematic exploration of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, this process encourages learning in a prayerful small-community setting.
Grateful Living
A Focus on Stewardship
New Wine, New Wineskins
A Focus on Hope During Parish Mergers
Merging, restructuring, or transitioning can bring uncertainty, grief, and resistance—but also the opportunity for renewal, growth, and deeper unity. New Wine, New Wineskins is a transformative faith-sharing experience designed to help parishes navigate this journey with faith, hope, and a spirit of community.
RENEW’s Parish Catalyst helps answer the call to evangelize and make disciples with a focus on parish renewal. Participation can help provide the framework to move you, your parish leadership, and your parishioners toward innovation, inclusion, and engagement. Parish Catalyst is not a cookie-cutter approach but rather a personalized, individualized process that YOU and your team develop, create, and own.
