Catholic Charismatic Renewal

The opportunity to experience charismatic prayer is available through Catholic Charismatic Renewal prayer groups in various locations around the diocese.

The Catholic Charismatic Renewal Chaplain is Fr Francis Otobo.

What does it mean to be charismatic?

Charismatic renewal is a ‘Current of Grace’ which God is using to restore and renew His Church. It must not be understood as a movement or alternative spirituality within the Catholic Church, but rather an integral part of it.

The Holy Spirit also gives us the charisms or gifts that empower us to be God’s witnesses in the world and instruments of his love, healing and compassion to those we meet. Baptism of the Holy Spirit can be understood as providing a tangible experience of the power of the Holy Spirit that we receive in our sacramental baptism and confirmation.

Baptism in the Holy Spirit enables the release and empowerment of the gifts, fruits and charisms already received in Baptism and Confirmation to bring us into a personal relationship with Jesus and to help us to bring God’s Good News of Jesus Christ to others.

Many report experiencing the joy of God’s love for them and the power of the Holy Spirit to break or be released from bad habits. Others the grace to become free from addictions.
