About Us: The Newfoundland Catholic Renewal
An Experience
|
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal is an integral part of the Church, that brings people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as risen Lord and living Savior.
In an ongoing extension of Pentecost, Jesus continues to send His Holy Spirit with His gifts and graces, ('charisms') on the earth to renew the Church and the lives of individual Christians. We, the Newfoundland Catholic Renewal Committee, have undertaken this website that it might be a wellspring of hope and a method of spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ through the internet. |
Mission Statement
|
Generally:
It is the mission of Newfoundland Catholic Renewal to witness to the reality of Jesus Christ and the love of the Father, under the power and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, exercising the charisms received through the release of the Holy Spirit. Officially: The Newfoundland Catholic Renewal will be the body responsible for discerning and leading the Provincial activities of the Catholic Renewal in Newfoundland. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Newfoundland Catholic Renewal will host annual events and encourage "Life in the Spirit" seminars within the Province. It is our mission to witness to the reality of Jesus Christ and the love of the Father, under the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, exercising the charisms received through the release of the Holy Spirit.

Message from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) for 50th anniversary of Charismatic Renewal in Canada 2018
The message expresses “thanks to the Lord for the blessings of God which Catholic charismatics have brought our dioceses and parishes.” It also recalls how the “faithfully-attended prayer groups, the careful study of the word of God, catechesis, times of praise, prayers of intercession, the blessings and constructive challenges of life in community – all these have marked the life of Charismatic communities across Canada and have contributed to the building up of the Church in our land.”
