RENEW International Annual Report | 2013

From Our President
Dear Friends of RENEW,
The open door image reminds me of this famous scene from the old TV series
Dragnet in which Sgt. Joe Friday is talking to Father Rojas about a theft from a church:
Sgt. Joe Friday: Was the statue there before Mass?
Fr. Rojas: I don’t know, but it was there last night.
“…they called the church
together and reported what
God had done with them and
how he had opened the door
of faith to the Gentiles.”
~ Acts 14:27
Sgt. Friday: How late is the church open?
Fr. Rojas: All night.
Sgt. Friday: You leave it wide open…so any thief can walk in?
Fr. Rojas: (quietly) Particularly thieves, Sergeant.
Open doors invite the passerby to come and see what is inside. Even more promising
is an open door from which a friendly face beckons us to come in. As I look outside
my office window I can see the doors of the church across the street. I watch people
enter throughout the day. It is good to see that some church doors are still left open for
anyone — that’s anyone, Sergeant — who feels a call to enter.
In the Acts of the Apostles, we read about the first missionary activity of the early
Christian community. The disciples of Jesus, fired up by the Spirit, invited all to an encounter
with the living Christ. The disciples opened the door of faith not only to the Jewish people
but also to the Gentiles, an idea that shocked and even scandalized some folks.
This past year Pope Benedict XVI in his letter The Door of Faith proclaimed a Year
of Faith celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Vatican II and the twentieth anniversary
of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Holy Father wrote, “The Year of Faith … is
a summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the one Savior of the
world” (The Door of Faith, 6).
Through our pastoral offerings, and the small communities that we form and
nurture, we at RENEW International, in a unique way, help the Church to hold open
its door and invite people to come in. In these welcoming, prayerful settings, people
refresh or even rediscover their faith in God and in his Son, Jesus Christ, as they share
faith and life and then go out through that same door to carry the living Gospel into the
world in works of charity and acts of justice.
Through your prayer and support, you are an indispensable part of that mission.
Thank you for the generous spirit with which you help to keep the door of faith open
wide.
With warmest regards and gratitude,
Sr. Theresa Rickard, OP
President and Executive Director

Opening the Door to Faith
A Message from Our Board
Dear RENEW Supporters,
It has been gratifying to see, as a member of the Board of Trustees of RENEW
International over the past 13 years, that RENEW has opened the door of faith for
so many Catholics. The openness and welcome of Jesus’ own ministry is reflected in
RENEW’s faith-sharing processes and exhibited in the support its staff gives to dioceses
and parishes around the world.
This same spirit is reflected internally at RENEW. The collaboration between the
Board of Trustees and the RENEW staff is a unique and enlightening experience. Trustees
regularly enjoy face-to-face encounters with RENEW leadership. Trustees have also
enthusiastically accepted the invitation to lend their knowledge and skills in various
areas of RENEW’s operation, such as helping the organization to develop its strategic
plan and to incorporate best management practices at every level. The board has been
impressed by RENEW’s implementation of cutting-edge business tools that help the
organization take maximum advantage of its cumulative experience and talents so as
to improve both the impact and the sustainability of the services and resources it offers.
The board has also endorsed RENEW’s timely and prudent use of funds from its
endowment to develop a central data base and otherwise improve and expand the
technology that helps to further the mission of evangelization. As the world changes,
so does RENEW. By using modern communications technology through a variety of
media, RENEW is maximizing its reach.
For more than 30 years, RENEW has helped Catholic people share their faith and
put it into practice in their daily lives. We are committed to continue this mission more
effectively and more efficiently than ever.
Thank you for your prayers and for your support of RENEW International.
Sincerely yours,
Joseph Franzetti
Chair, Board of Trustees

PASTORAL OFFERINGS
An ARISE youth group from St. Lawrence in New Hamburg, MO (Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau),
chose outreach to the less fortunate as their action step. They baked cookies for the elderly, collected
canned goods, and made home visits.
RENEW International helps
Catholics open the door between
faith and everyday life. RENEW
International’s pastoral resources
employ Scripture, prayer, reflection,
and faith sharing to help people
meeting in small communities
deepen their relationship with
Jesus and their appreciation of
Catholic teaching—goals of this
Year of Faith—and then live
their faith in acts of charity and
justice in the home, school, and
workplace. The Church intends
for the New Evangelization to first
revitalize the commitment of the
Catholic family itself. More than
400,000 people are responding
to that call by participating in
RENEW programs.
The next few pages present RENEW International’s offerings for dioceses and parishes around the
world. The comments and stories in these pages exemplify the experiences of Catholics young and old,
laity and clergy, who are working to build vibrant communities that make the promise of the Gospel a
reality in the world.

“Sharing what God is doing
in our lives and how we
all struggle with different
challenges makes our unity
more real to me. I have grown
closer to my community and
to God. I thank God and my
Church for helping me to have
the courage and strength to keep
on going through my troubles
and find peace and joy in times
of despair. I went to confession
for the first time in 20 years,
and it was a wonderful and
emotional experience.”

“One of our parish’s small
Christian community leaders
passed away last year. Her group
initiated ARISE Project Irene
in her memory. The group has
since coordinated a food drive
and volunteered at St. Mary
Church Interfaith Community
Services to serve the homeless.”
~ St. George Parish,
Diocese of Stockton, CA
ARISE participants from St. Linus Parish in the Diocese of Stockton answered God’s call to serve by bringing food and
clothing to the homeless.

“I had thought of going on a
mission prior to the ARISE program
this past year, but I never acted
on it. Then we started Season 2 of
ARISE, titled Change Our Hearts.
The book calls on us to ask God’s
help to change our hearts and turn
more toward him. During one of
our ARISE meetings, I heard about
Chalice, a Catholic organization
out of Nova Scotia that does work
and supports volunteers in Asia,
Haiti, Latin America, Ukraine,
and Africa. I contacted them and
sponsored a child in Peru and
one in Tanzania. After a few weeks, Chalice contacted me with information on a medical mission to
Tanzania. In the south of Tanzania, we cared for 1900 patients, visited and fed school children, and
visited our sponsored families at the orphanage. We also raised $15,000 towards outfitting the newly
built maternity ward serving the Songea region of Tanzania.”

Why Catholic?
Residents at the Boston Home prepare for a Why Catholic? session. Why Catholic? is expanding in the
Archdiocese of Boston thanks to generous grants from the Lynch and Birmingham foundations.
Why Catholic?/¿Por qué ser católico? is a concrete approach to helping adults deepen
their Catholic faith and connect its teachings to their everyday lives. It provides a total
parish experience that is suited for everyone, especially parents with children preparing
for sacraments, RCIA candidates, and catechists looking to deepen their faith. Through
small Christian communities in every parish, participants are inspired to proclaim their
“When I became a facilitator of
a group of men I thought, “It’s
going to be tough.” But we’ve
met now for four years over
breakfast, and it is a great group.
This past year, with the book
PRAY: Christian Prayer,
I learned so much: how to pray
in different ways, praying often,
getting closer to God in prayer. It
has changed my life.”

Diocese of Reno, NV

faith in prayer, in support for each other, and in everyday actions.
Highlights
• The Why Catholic? process is being translated into French for Canada.
• Our efforts to serve the U.S. military expanded to include the Eastern Vicariate of
the Archdiocese for Military Services, thanks to a generous grant from the Raskob
Foundation and diocesan underwriting from Catholic Extension.
• In the Archdiocese of Boston, training for small community leaders was held in
English, Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
• Cardinal O’Malley and the Appeal Office of the Archdiocese of Boston highlighted
the blessings of Why Catholic? small-group faith sharing in
the annual archdiocesan appeal video shown in all parishes.

Why Catholic?
RENEW staff members are always
willing to travel to bring spiritual
renewal to people and parishes in
far-flung destinations.
Sr. Maureen Colleary, FSP, is
pictured on her way to the Kenai
Peninsula to deliver Why Catholic?
to parishes in the Archdiocese of
Anchorage, Alaska.
RENEW also serves two military
bases in Anchorage and Kodiak,
Alaska.
The intrepid Sr. Maureen has
presented pastoral services across the
globe from Canada and Germany, to
Korea and Nigeria, making RENEW
truly “International.”
“In the four years our group has been together, we have supported one another in joyous times as well as times
of great sadness. A son with minor brain surgery, a daughter in a toxic relationship, a grandson with drug
addiction, the death of a father-in-law, a broken relationship between a parent and two daughters, and a faith
journey crisis. In each situation we provided compassion and support. As our four-year sessions come to an
end, we can continue to work together to support one another and our community.”
~ St. Vincent de Paul Parish,
Diocese of Fort Worth, TX

New Pastoral Offerings
Turning Points is a new video series with faith stories of real-life Catholics.
Catholics across the globe are called to be agents of a “New Evangelization,” a renewed
effort to live each day in a way that brings the Gospel to family members, friends, and
neighbors. RENEW International is responding to this pastoral need in the Church by
developing fresh, innovative ways to help parishes engage parishioners on a deeper
level. RENEW’s processes provide opportunities for adult Catholics to encounter Christ
within small communities and share God’s love with others.
Highlights
Be My Witness: Formation for the New Evangelization develops vibrant parishes that
“Every pastoral program must
transmit the true novelty of the
Gospel, and be centered on a
personal and living encounter
with Jesus. It should also be
ordered to eliciting in all people
a generous embrace of the faith,
and a willingness to accept the
call to be witnesses.”
~ Proposition 42,
Synod for the New Evangelization
for the Transmission of the
Christian Faith
move from “maintenance mode” to the mission of forming fully committed disciples.
The engaged Catholics who are formed by this process will have confidence to welcome
others back to faith and to address social issues through the lens of the Gospel.
• The Diocese of Tyler, TX, has committed to pilot this process beginning in fall 2014
• The process is available in Spanish as Sean mis testigos: Formación para una nueva
evangelización
Turning Points: Witness Stories: this integral component of the Be My Witness process
is a series of videos in which men and women tell their personal stories of spiritual
awakening and conversion. These videos will inspire other Catholics, who may have
little experience speaking to others about the positive role of faith in daily life, to a more
dynamic level of discipleship. • RENEW International received generous funding for Turning Points from the
Catholic Communications Campaign of the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops and Our Sunday Visitor Foundation.

New Pastoral Offerings
Three new pastoral offerings roll out to
parishes this coming year.
New Wine, New Wineskins: A Faith-Sharing Resource for Restructuring Parishes
seeks to address the spiritual needs of Catholics dealing with a range of feelings—from
sadness to anger to hopefulness—as their parishes are restructured.
• The process will be piloted in the Diocese of Metuchen, NJ, which approached
RENEW for assistance in meeting
the needs of
parishioners affected by
restructuring and mergers.
La justicia brota de la fe: Formación en la fe y en la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia
connects faith with love of neighbor by presenting the scriptural foundation of the
Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church. The process, offered completely in Spanish,
weaves together the unique circumstances, stories, and experiences of immigrant
families, youth, and newly arrived immigrants.
• The Diocese of Stockton, California, is piloting this new resource in more than 20
Latino parishes in fall 2013.
“It is an invitation into
dialogue, an invitation to
imagine new wineskins for the
new wine that is the people of
God in the 21st century.”
~ Jeffry Odell Korgen
Author,
New Wine, New Wineskins
Executive Director of
Diocesan Planning,
Diocese of Metuchen
“We are called to transform the world around us in light of the Gospel. La justicia brota de la fe is a treasure
I wholeheartedly recommend to all those who desire to follow Christ more faithfully.”
~ Timothy Matovina, MDiv, PhD,
Professor of Theology and Executive Director of the Institute for Latino Studies,
University of Notre Dame
11
Renewing the Priestly Heart
Sr. Honora Nolty, OP, facilitates a discussion of topics
from Renewing the Priestly Heart with priests of the
Round Valley Deanery in the Diocese of Metuchen, NJ.
“Renewing the Priestly Heart
was an answer to a prayer for
us. Many priests have expressed
a real desire and need for
fraternity with other priests. I
would recommend the process
because it has been a gift from
God that came at just the
moment we needed it most.”
~ Fr. Gerald Westphal,
Pastor, St. Boniface Parish
Coordinator,
Renewing the Priestly Heart,
Archdiocese of Montreal
Renewing the Priestly Heart is a clergy renewal process designed to strengthen and
deepen priestly identity and fraternity among priests.
“To my brother priests, I
thank you for all you in do
service to the Lord and our
beloved Church. I encourage
your personal growth as you
join your fellow priests as
participants in Renewing the
Priestly Heart. It is my prayer
that these reflections will
help those who are seeking to
refresh their souls and renew
their zeal.”
~ Timothy Cardinal Dolan,
Archbishop of New York
12
The process starts with a Day of Reflection for clergy. During this kickoff event,
RENEW presenters facilitate discussions on priestly life and form priests into small
groups which meet regularly for faith sharing. The resource book was written by
Fr. John Sassani of the Archdiocese of Boston and features insights on the priesthood by
Timothy Cardinal Dolan.
Highlights
• Days of Reflection were led by RENEW presenters in the dioceses of Brooklyn,
Metuchen, and Davenport, and the archdioceses of New York and Montreal,
Canada.
• Sr. Terry presented a keynote address on Renewing the Priestly Heart in Reno, NV, at
the annual conference of the National Federation of Priest Councils. Her keynote
was featured in the April 26, 2013 National Catholic Reporter.
• The Diocese of Tyler, TX, plans to launch Renewing the Priestly Heart with its first
priest convocation in decades in October 2013.

adults meeting and talking.
RENEW Theology on Tap and Campus RENEW offer innovative solutions to one of today’s
most pressing pastoral concerns: how to reach out to young Catholic adults. Theology
on Tap reaches young adults “where they are” in a literal and figurative sense, while
inviting them to discover how faith can give meaning to their everyday lives. It is a way
for dioceses and parishes to discover (or rediscover) these young adults in comfortable,
relaxed settings like restaurants, bars, and parish halls. Campus RENEW brings students
together to reflect upon how God is at work in this formative period of their lives.
Highlights
• 16 new dioceses started Theology on Tap, including dioceses in England, Canada,
and South Africa.
• Campus ministry departments at Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, CT, and
King’s College, Wilkes Barre, PA, began the Campus RENEW process.
“This year is our biggest ToT
ever, happening at 10 sites
across the archdiocese!”
~ Young Adult Ministry,
Archdiocese of Los Angeles
“Campus RENEW is a great way
for any student to deepen his
or her faith. It brings students
together to make friends and
enjoy a peaceful time to find the
deeper meaning of their lives.”
~ Robert Moulton,
Core Team Member,
Campus RENEW,
King’s College, Class of 2014

Parish-based Offerings
This small group in Anchorage includes
homebound members.
“Faith sharing in small groups is very appealing to the Native People of the Archdiocese of Anchorage
whose community is deeply rooted in oral tradition. During Lent, seven small groups with 55 members
shared on Lenten Longings and engaged in outreach activities, many of which focused on the
homebound.
Lenten Longings helped our family connect with cousins, siblings, and each other. We especially enjoyed
the trust we built as a group and the singing we shared. We learned more about the importance of reading
Scripture before Mass and felt more prepared for Easter as a family. Lenten Longings pushed us out of
our comfort zones and challenged us to commit to action in our lives. God always gives us what we need.
He provided this time of fellowship so we could see him at work in our home and in our hearts.”

LATIN AMERICA
Young people take to the streets in a joyful
procession during Diocesan Youth Day in the
Diocese of Sonsonate, El Salvador. The diocese
is now in the third season of Jovénes para Cristo.
“Before Jóvenes para Cristo
(JpC), the parish was always
a place “for adults” where
young people did not have a
space to share their faith in
Jesus Christ. Now, thanks to
the JpC process and materials,
youth attend group meetings
and discover Jesus as a brother,
walking with his people and
knowing their struggles and
needs. This understanding has
awakened their desire to work
for the Kingdom of God in the
social context of the community.
Focusing on issues such as
pollution and alcohol and drug
use has led to projects that will
serve the community.
The young have discovered
that their participation in the
Church is both possible and
necessary.”

RENEW International works to support the Latin American bishops in their call to
advance the “nueva evangelización” (new evangelization) of the people in Central and
South America.
Jóvenes para Cristo (Youth for Christ) is a process which strengthens faith and fosters
a missionary spirit among the large and growing youth population. ¿Por qué ser católico?
continues to serve adults in parishes in Venezuelan dioceses by strengthening their
faith and confidence as Catholics.
Highlights
Central America:
• RENEW is serving youth across 150 parishes in six dioceses in El Salvador, Honduras,
and Guatemala.
• The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Office for the Church in Latin America
awarded a grant to dioceses working with RENEW International in El Salvador,
Honduras, and Guatemala to expand RENEW’s work with youth.

“RENEW Africa challenged our
faith. We no longer felt that
we were just church-goers
but rather had broken with
the traditional custom of only
attending Mass on Sunday and
doing nothing during the week.
We still have to work on the
action steps each week, as we
struggle as a group to reach out
to our brothers and sisters.”
~ St. Joseph the Worker Parish,
Archdiocese of Johannesburg,
South Africa
RENEW Africa invites communities to pray, reflect on Scripture, deepen communion
with one another and with Christ, and to reach out in service to others as an essential
expression of their faith. This dynamic, parish-based process is built on the faith
“It was so beneficial to learn
again about the sacraments,
but this time from an insightful
adult perspective. I also think
we can relate to the sacraments
more and in deeper ways having
done the [Why Catholic?]

RENEW International’s priority is always to serve all parishes that
desire to renew their faith and build the Church, regardless of their
economic situation. We have been able to fulfill this mission, not
only in the designated “mission dioceses” in the United States but
also in Latin America and Africa, because of the charitable funding
and donations we receive.
“What RENEW International
does for our faith is so
important. … It offers people
a more in-depth opportunity to
share faith and put faith into
action.”
~ Michael Catanzaro,
George Link Jr. Charitable Trust,
2013 President’s Award recipient
