I'm not a Catholic, although I am a Christian. And I know the church in general has had a long and sometimes colorful history, certain things everyone wishes we could all just erase. But still, I think there is something about the long history of the Catholic church that intrigues me. Something has made it last this long, after all. :)
But traditions for their own sake, no matter what they are, can grow stale. Whenever you do something just for the sake of doing it, it goes dead after awhile. That's where organizations like RENEW International come in.
The whole idea behind RENEW International, which began over 30 years ago, is to come alongside the Catholic church worldwide to help revitalize and renew the spiritual life of its members--to breathe new life, as it were. It does so by providing a wide range of programs and learning materials--programs geared toward youth, young adults, small groups, and much more--all designed to rekindle the heart behind the traditions.
RENEW International estimates that in its history it has impacted the lives of over 25 million people in 23 nations, helping foster renewal in over 150 Catholic dioceses around the globe.
