My experience with The Ark and The Dove Worldwide has been truly transformative. Visiting their historic retreat center, where the Duquesne Weekend sparked a global renewal, was a profound encounter with the Holy Spirit. The welcoming atmosphere and heartfelt hospitality made me feel embraced and inspired. Their commitment to fostering unity and empowering disciples for mission is evident in every aspect of their work. The Upper Room Retreat, with its powerful talks and spiritual guidance, deepened my faith and equipped me to live more fully for Christ. I wholeheartedly recommend The Ark and The Dove to anyone seeking a vibrant, Spirit-filled journey of renewal.
Imagine our delight when in 2019 the Vatican established Catholic Charismatic Renewal International Service (CHARIS) and commissioned those in the Renewal to bring baptism in the Holy Spirit to the whole Church and to build unity in the body of Christ! In executing our vision and mission, we work closely with CHARIS on a global basis as well as with charismatic covenant communities, ministries, and other entities birthed out of the February 1967 “Duquesne Weekend” at The Ark and The Dove.
In late 2015, Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap., Preacher of the Papal Household until 2024, endorsed our purchase of The Ark and The Dove Retreat Center and enthusiastically encouraged others, those in the worldwide Renewal, to contribute support our vision and mission. (Note: Fr. Cantalamessa was later named a Cardinal and then the first Ecclesiastical Adviser of CHARIS.)

As we advance our worldwide vision and mission, we need your financial support. We also need your volunteerism and prayers.
Your donations sustain our work in two primary ways –
We invite you to join us in responding to the call of Church through regular monthly or annual giving and planned giving. Thank-you for any level of support that you can provide.
Many donors support us through regular giving – on a monthly or annual basis – while some prefer to give a larger amount one-time. Gifts can be credited immediately by clicking on the donation buttons below and using a credit card or PayPal. Donors outside of the USA often find it easier to use PayPal rather than a credit card. If you reside in the USA and wish to donate by check, please mail it to: 10745 Babcock Blvd., Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, 15004.
We can also receive gifts in the form of tradable securities, such as stock, bonds, and mutual funds. We will immediately sell the tradable securities at market value upon receipt. If you wish to donate tradable securities, such as stock, bonds, and mutual funds, please call us at (724) 444-8055 or email us at info@thearkandthedoveworldwide.org for more information.
If you desire to transfer illiquid securities, real estate, personal property, cryptocurrency, life insurance, or other types of assets, please contact us to discuss if we can accept such assets. Please contact your tax advisor regarding the income tax deductibility of noncash donations.
We also offer planned giving (also known as deferred giving) through membership in our Saint Elena Guerra Society Planned Giving Program. Our planned giving program provides a way for you to pass the legacy of your baptism in the Holy Spirit to promulgate the current of grace for future generations.
Those who seek Saint Elena Guerra Society membership can make planned gifts today, either as a one-time or multi-year pledge gift or as a estate bequest upon your death. Planned giving is a way to make a larger gift that may have potential tax and income benefits. For a limited time, donors with planned gifts of $100,000 or more will be offered room naming rights at the Retreat Center in recognition of the donor, donor’s family, a Saint, or a prominent person in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (excluding the Chapel). Naming rights pass to beneficiaries for bequests of $100,000 or more.
Saint Elena Guerra Society members will be given the option for recognition on our website. We will pray for all members and enrollment them in our Perpetual Mass program. If you wish to inquire about joining the Saint Elena Guerra Society, please contact Johnny Bertucci or Ron Riggins for more information at (724) 444-8055 or info@thearkandthedoveworldwide.org. Also, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions. We do not provide legal or tax advice regarding your estate plans.
