Notable Catholic Entities

At Elevated Parish Missions, our goal is to "ignite hearts; and revive parishes". This not only happens during our three-day mission events... but also beyond! In the months that follow our missions, we continue to 'fan the flame of the Holy Spirit' by offering additional accompaniment and proven approaches to increasing the spiritual health and engagement of a parish. As part of that process, we recommend the use of the resources below which are offered by notable Catholic entities. They are sure to 'elevate' one's faith walk to a higher level!

Catholics today face many obstacles to a vibrant relationship with Christ. Many are without community and lack support in their faith journey. Many do not know what they believe, and even if they do, they may not be living out their beliefs or sharing them with others. Out of a passion to help people to have the relationship with Christ, Franciscan University of Steubenville has created the Discipleship Quad: a group of four people who journey together as disciples.  Through weekly gatherings of fellowship, ongoing conversion, and learning, your faith will be enlivened and your walk as a disciple emboldened.

We believe that being a good parent starts with being a great spouse.  But being a good parent or even a great spouse is hard, messy work. And we're not meant to do it alone!  So join us on this journey, because we believe that not only is marriage and family life a path to holiness, but it’s an incredible adventure!

In our highly impersonal, technology-driven society, there exists a longing to connect to each other and to Christ. Today the lay faithful are increasingly turning to spiritual direction to grow closer to Christ, heal from spiritual wounds, and handle life’s demands.  In spiritual direction, those who seek deeper intimacy with God open their hearts to a spiritual director who travels with them on their spiritual journey. This becomes like the encounter of Jesus with the woman at the well, the return of the prodigal son, and the blind man Bartimaeus—in which each person encounters the Lord and experiences ongoing conversion.

Founded in 1970, the National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of the United States (NSC-PT), doing business as Pentecost Today USA, was established as the first service organization and structural expression of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.
Our work is to foster a new and ongoing Pentecost in the Church, specifically through equipping Renewal and Church leaders to receive, understand, and share the graces of Baptism in the Holy Spirit and the charismatic gifts. We accomplish this through holy collaboration in the building of pastoral and theological resources, communications, events, and ministry support.
Today, more than 70 clergy, religious, and lay faithful from across the nation collaborate through NSC-PT to raise up, connect, and equip Renewal leaders to fulfill our mission to BRING baptism in the Holy Spirit to the whole Church, build unity in the Body of Christ, and SERVE the poor. 
Here are two ways to get involved:
  1. Pray: Holy Spirit 2033 Novena - Join the Holy Spirit 2033 Novena Prayer for a new and ongoing Pentecost to be ignited in our own hearts, in the Church, and in the world. The NSC-PT is partnering with the CHARIS International Vatican Office to prepare for the 2000th anniversary of the birth of the Church on the day of Pentecost in 2033, and people in over 50 countries are praying and sharing the novena.
  2. Connect: Renewal Database - Find and share Renewal Offices, Renewal Centers, Prayer Groups, Covenant Communities, Ministries, Religious, and Diocesan Liaisons located throughout the USA.  Search by keyword, state, type of contact, or diocese. Prayer Meetings in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and MORE are listed here. All Encounter Schools are in this database, and you can add or update your ministry information in the database.
