Be My Witness
Be My Witness aims to inspire participants to see themselves as witnesses of Christ and to build on their ordinary acts of service to each other and their communities.
Why Catholic?
Why Catholic? encourages Catholics to openly talk about their faith through a rich scriptural and catechetical approach.
Other Programs
Ignatian Business Chapters
As a business person striving to navigate tough decisions and manage conflicting demands while also aiming to lead with principle and make a positive impact in both work and personal life, finding balance is essential; one solution is to join a supportive community of "fellow travelers," where important themes of work, faith, and life are explored together, enabling confident leadership in all aspects of life.
Small Groups — Big Impact
RENEW International, drawing from over 40 years of expertise in nurturing thriving small-group ministries, offers a comprehensive Small Groups 101 program, including modules like Capture the Vision, Organize and Build, and Train Your Leaders, equipped with clear guides and video tutorials, designed to help you establish and sustain a transformative parish life and discipleship experience.
Theology on Tap
Theology on Tap is designed to reach out to young adult Catholics in their 20s and 30s by providing a casual opportunity to gather with others while connecting faith and daily life.
Statistics & Testimonials
“ARISE Together in Christ provides an opportunity for clergy, parishioners, and all members of our Catholic community to experience God’s wondrous love.
“I consider RENEW International’s parish renewal process to be at the top of the list of the most valuable gifts given by the Holy Spirit to the Church over the past three decades. By stressing the centrality of small, faith-sharing communities, RENEW goes to the heart of what the Church must be.”
As the facilitator, I am in awe of what the Spirit is doing in and through those gathered. Our sessions are truly a spiritual experience and a wonderful gift for me. Many of our participants are on walkers, canes, and in wheelchairs. Some are challenged visually as well as hearing impaired, but it is so evident that God is doing a mighty work in our midst!”
