Our Crowdfunding Groups
The founders of Opus Novum.
Who We Are & What We Do:
Opus Novum Catholic Charismatic Renewal is a collegiate community founded at Duquesne in 2018.
“Opus Novum” means “The New Work”
Our group verse is Isaiah 43:19
Opus Novum is a community of students who seek to enter into the Heart of God and receive the gifts necessary for the building up of the kingdom!
Brothers and sisters in Christ who are growing closer to the Lord through communal prayer, daily Mass, Scripture study, guest speakers, praise and worship, and fellowship.
Our mission: Foster the dynamic charismatic graces of the Holy Spirit within Duquesne’s students and campus!
Our vision: “Opus Novum invites all students to experience the Holy Spirit who opens us to a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ and the profound encounter with the love of the Father.”
We are very grateful for the involvement of our Spiritan priests; our group Spiritual Directors Fr. Mike Ackerman and Fr. Mike Faix, and other priests from the Diocese of Pittsburgh; the DLJC Sisters from the Ark and the Dove; and our faculty advisor, Dr. James Swindal- among many others who love and serve our community!

Why We Are Seeking Funds:
We are asking for donations to fund our Spring retreat this coming April!
Our yearly retreat provides a time for our community to gather together and allow the Lord to refresh and renew us while strengthening our communal bonds.
The Lord has been bringing many members to our group, so with the wonderful addition of students, our costs also increase.
Donations would be used to covering the costs of meals, transportation, lodging, guest speakers, and spiritual formation at our retreat.
We are grateful for every gift- any amount donated will make a big difference!
Thank You!
We sincerely appreciate your financial support of our community! Your donation will allow us to continue to be strengthened as a community as we grow in love, pursue holiness, and live an authentic life in the Spirit. Please pray for us as well. We will be praying for all of our donors!
Have any questions? Feel free to contact us at opusnovumccr@gmail.com!
Additional ways to help
A donation of $100 offsets the cost of retreat lodging for one member.
