Development

RENEW’s ministry of renewing personal faith and revitalizing parish life is made possible in part by the generous donations of individual donors, foundations, and businesses. Our donors are partners in our work.

The Capital Campaign The Capital Campaign continues. Forward at 40 was launched in January 2018 to fund four key priorities—engage young adults and young families; grow our Faith and Work program; build capacity; ensure our future—and forward our mission in new and innovative ways. To date, RENEW has raised more than $3.3 million in its comprehensive campaign. We project that we will reach our goal of $4 million by June 2021.

Our first video appeal went out on May 5 for #GivingTuesdayNow. The appeal featured a recorded message of hope from Sr. Terry that featured a cameo by a surprise guest, Cisco the blind convent cat.
