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.

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!”
