The Catholic Charismatic Renewal is a spiritual movement that has existed within the Catholic church since 1967. Pope John Paul II described Life in the Spirit as, "a grace directed to sanctify the Church, to renew in her the taste for prayer, to rediscover with the Holy Spirit, the sense of gratuitousness, of joyful praise, of confidence in intercession, and to be converted into a new fountain of evangelization" ( 22 Jan. 1987)
The Seminar is an introduction to a life lived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and encourages the development of close personal relationship with Jesus Christ and with that new devotion to Catholic worship, the sacraments, Scripture and prayer.
This year we will be holding the Life in The Spirit Seminar on six consecutive Monday nights beginning April 13th and ending on May 18th at 8 PM in the Parish Center's Findlay Hall.
The format will consist of opening songs of praise and worship; personal testimony from the speaker of the night who is a member of Prayer Group; small group discussion; prayers of intercession and dismissal at 9:30.
