YOU HAVE THE POWER to transform your parish!
The family and friends of Jeanette and John Clark Walton congratulate them and their fellow honorees, Bobby Gregory and Theodore Musco
RENEW has the tools to help you do it! Learn more at: www.renewsmallgroups.org RENEW International is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Welcome Dear Friends: Thank you for supporting RENEW International’s first Virtual Gala. For more than 40 years, we have advanced our mission to renew personal faith and parish life—for the sake of transforming the Church and the world. Our work is needed more than ever during the COVID 19 pandemic. In times of uncertainty, we need to feel rooted in God and in our communities. RENEW is helping parishes pivot by providing online resources to help their parishioners, small communities, and sacramental preparation programs thrive during these trying days. This is our 21st Annual Gala. Today we honor exemplary Catholics who live their faith in their homes, parishes, and workplaces: Jeanette Walton and John Clark Walton (President’s Award), Bobby Gregory (Spirit of RENEW Award), and Theodore Musco (Monsignor Thomas A. Kleissler Award). During this unprecedented time, we are unable to meet in person. Nonetheless, this is a very special evening, and whether you are a sponsor or a donor, have purchased a journal ad, bought a raffle ticket, or bid on an auction item, you help to make it a success. Through your generosity you will celebrate the lives of our honorees, and at the same time help RENEW to foster Catholic faith and revitalize the Church. With gratitude,
Sr. Theresa Rickard, O.P. President

BRONZE HONORING
Theodore Musco “It is our honor to recognize Ted Musco for his outstanding vision, dedication, courage, and commitment to the Catholic Church. It has been our privilege to be associated with Ted as he has pioneered new ways of reaching and evangelizing members of the Church. His contributions will stand as hallmarks for future innovation in an ever changing world that so desperately needs God’s light to shine.” - Dena Bartlett, Co-founder of Catholic Faith Technologies
Catholic Faith Technologies is proud to sponsor Theodore Musco’s award Demands on Church leaders have never been greater. Beyond serving as the spiritual home for thousands, it is increasingly difficult to manage communications, sustain alignment, and accurately measure formation and spiritual growth. Today, through Catholic Faith Technologies, you can streamline those initiatives while creating touch points for each parish and school. Maximize your engagement, formation, certifications, and centralized communications while gaining access to the MyCatholicFaithDelivered.com Content Library for rich, reliable Catholic courses from leading Apostolates.

For Your Parish
An Online Program from RENEW INTERNATIONAL
Transform your sacramental preparation into a moment of evangelization. Baptism Matters combines innovative online modules with the small-group faith-sharing that is the heart of RENEW’s mission. This dual approach helps families not only prepare for the sacrament but also engage with your parish, entering more fully into your faith community. The program includes modules for parish staff, parents, and godparents. To learn more and see a sample video, go to pages.renewintl.org/baptism-matters
