Emmaus Partnership
Catholic Charismatic Renewal Birmingham (the CHARIS group) plan to hold a series of Days of Renewal around the Archdiocese of Birmingham.
The first of these will take place in Coventry on Saturday 18th November at St Thomas More, Coventry. The theme of the day is “Come to me all you who labour and are overburdened and I will give you rest”.
Everyone from around the diocese is welcome so please come and join us.
The speaker for the day is Ros Powell: “We will be seeking to go deeper in our faith by coming before the Lord to cast our burdens on to him, knowing that Jesus came to mend the broken hearted and set the captives free by touching us spiritually, physically, psychologically, and emotionally as he breaks the chains that bind us.”
What is CHARIS?
CHARIS was instituted at Pentecost 2019 by Pope Francis as the official group in the church which brings together all the many and varied parts of Charismatic renewal in the Catholic Church. It brought together the existing National groups and the Fraternity of Covenant Communities into an overarching group whose function is to bring together the dispersed elements of renewal and to harness the streams of grace that run through them for the benefit of the wider church.
CHARIS functions locally as National and Diocesan Services of Communion (CNSC, CDSC).
The Local CDSC (Charis Group) brings together the many and varied elements of renewal in our own Archdiocese from prayer groups to ministries to events and conferences and including the several communities of people living together in our diocese.
The CDSC looks this year to bring days of renewal to the different parts of our diocese, and to work to widen its reach into areas of renewal with whom it has not yet engaged. It will bring together worship leaders and musicians into a worship collective to help people grow in their personal ministry and support renewal throughout the diocese, and it will bring an offering for parishes to help them develop parish and deanery prayer groups and fellowship groups so that we can share and support one another as we receive these blessings.
