RENEW International and their Commitment to Catholics


Parishes throughout the United States have been helped by the guidance of RENEW International, a Roman Catholic Ministry whose mission is to further spiritual renewal within the Catholic community. Over 150 dioceses have worked with this ministry and benefited from their programs and materials, which are customized to help meet the needs of an individual diocese. After working with RENEW International, participants have documented their spiritual growth and attested to a stronger sense of community. They have been better able to incorporate faith into their lives and are both energized and recommitted to their Catholic beliefs.

RENEW International programs are crafted and supported by a group of women, men, and priests who believe in the spirit and strength of their mission. They share the goal of growing a parish from within itself by building the belief of its parishioners. Their formula has been successful for almost thirty years and helped 25 million people through the services of its ministry. Thousands of people outside of the U.S., in 23 countries, spanning 6 continents, and speaking 44 languages have all had seen their faith strengthen and grow because of RENEW International’s programs. Many more Catholics both domestically and worldwide will see their lives and their faith grow thanks to their work.

RENEW International and their Commitment to Catholics


Since the beginning of the Catholic Church, there have been ideas and later programs with the goal of supporting Catholics and strengthening their faith. People of faith have always enjoyed a close relationship with God and taken great comfort in their religion. However, life’s challenges can test the resolve of even the most dedicated Christian and present-day temptations make it even harder to remain commitment to one’s beliefs. RENEW International was founded by priests who recognized the struggles of their parishioners. They wanted to offer ways to help rebuild the community spirit of Catholics within a diocese and reach out to people who needed better ways to merge their beliefs with their lives.

RENEW International has authored very successful programs which have helped people around the world. The reasons for their success can be attributed to their unique understanding of the struggles within a parish and within a person. They are realistic in their approach to what works in today’s society and have offered new ways people can celebrate their faith and find true and lasting spiritual renewal. Catholics in over 150 dioceses in the United States alone have participated in and benefited from the special work of RENEW International. Participants in their programs enjoy the love of God have a greater understanding of how their faith can affect their actions and strengthen relationships with others.
