Emmaus
An Emmaus Men’s Retreat is a spiritual retreat for men. It is organized and given by laymen who are your peers in the community and who face the same challenges—and successes—that you do on a daily basis. The weekend begins on Friday evening and ends on Sunday afternoon; its purpose is to give you the opportunity to ponder and reflect upon your life and your individual relationship with Jesus Christ.
The men who attend Emmaus are ordinary men who come from all walks of life and all faith backgrounds.

Ark and the Dove
That The Ark and The Dove, the very birthplace of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, can be a clarion call to the Renewal worldwide, that as we anticipate the Jubilee and the 50th anniversary of the Duquesne Weekend, we would truly come together as one to proclaim the love of God though His Son Jesus Christ in the POWER of the Holy Spirit. The Ark and The Dove can be that rallying point for the Renewal worldwide.
Towards this end, we will create a diverse worldwide board. Adhering to Pope Francis’ admonition that the Renewal not forget its ecumenical background, knowing that Pope Francis’ invitation to the Renewal for Pentecost 2017 in Rome is to be an event for the entire church, not just the Catholic Church, the board will have an ecumenical dimension. Adhering to Pope Francis’ admonition that the Renewal provide a single service to the single current of grace, the board will solicit members from various streams and expressions.

Small Groups

Diocese of Pittsburgh, Grow

Christ Life
ChristLife equips Catholics for the essential work of evangelization so that all people might personally encounter Jesus Christ and be transformed into His missionary disciples.
We developed the ChristLife Evangelization Process, which is a relational way to make missionary disciples by helping people discover, follow, and share Jesus Christ. Our ministry partners with parishes, priests, clergy, religious and lay leaders who are seeking to answer the Church’s call for the New Evangelization through a proven method of parish evangelization and outreach.

Alpha
Alpha is an opportunity to strengthen the connection with God, rejuvenate your relationships, and reawaken your faith. Alpha begins with a meal, is followed by a short video, and then a small group discussion occurs about simple topics set forth in the videos.
