Charismatic Prayer Group

Life in the Holy Spirit for the Renewal of the Church

The Charismatic Prayer Group gathers to worship God and to welcome a deeper outpouring of the Holy Spirit—seeking renewal in prayer, Scripture, and the use of the gifts and fruits of the Spirit for the building up of the Church. All are welcome to come and experience joyful praise, intercession, and a vibrant love for Jesus present in His Church.

Mission & Vision

To foster a living relationship with the Holy Trinity, especially through devotion to the Holy Spirit, so that the Spirit’s gifts (charisms) and fruits may be expressed, discerned, and nourished for the good of the whole Church and the greater glory of God.

How We Pray & Serve

• The group meets once per quarter for Praise & Worship, Scripture reflection, and intercessory prayer.

• All who desire a deeper encounter with the Holy Spirit are welcome to participate.

• The ministry arranges and sponsors at least one Healing Mass each year, following parish and diocesan norms. Opportunities for prayer over the sick (with the laying on of hands in prayer) are offered by clergy and trained prayer teams.

Formation & Training

• Participants are encouraged to take part in a Life in the Spirit seminar or similar formation to grow in understanding of the Spirit’s action (this is distinct from the Sacrament of Baptism).

• Ongoing formation includes talks, retreats, and conferences on the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.

• Those serving on healing prayer teams receive formal training and follow parish/diocesan guidelines for discernment, confidentiality, and pastoral care.

Time Commitment

• About 1–2 hours per gathering (quarterly), with optional additional time for formation or service.
