Catholic charismatic renewal

Catholic charismatic renewal is a movement within the Roman Catholic Church that is part of the wider charismatic movement across historic Christian Churches. It is heavily influenced by American Protestantism, especially with an emphasis on having a “personal relationship with Jesus”, deep emotional experiences, and expressing the “gifts of the Holy Spirit. On June 6, 2019, the CHARIS (“Catholic Charismatic Renewal International Service”) service was officially inaugurated.

The purpose of CHARIS is to promote and strengthen communion among all expressions of Catholic Charismatic Renewal, as well as promoting and working for unity among all Christians, CHARIS has a “public juridic personality” within the Roman Catholic Church and has come into being as a direct initiative of the highest ecclesiastical authority, Pope Francis.

At St. Charles Lwanga Ntinda, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal usually meet at Every Sunday from 1:00pm to 4:00pm for their prayer meeting.
