Join people from all over the country for a "Family Reunion" of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal! Let us come together as one family to celebrate. The Renewal started 50 years ago and has developed in various ways with groups, ministries, and covenant communities. The baptism in the Holy Spirit has flowed upon God's People, bringing many to a personal encounter with the love of God that changes their daily lives, helping people discern their gifts and vocations, and spread the Gospel with joy! Come praise God for what He has done and for what He is yet to do in the future!
Speakers include Patti Mansfield, Damian Stayne, Marilyn Kramer, Bishop Sam Jacobs, Dr. Ralph Martin, Father Mario Castaneda, Vinson Synan, Dan and Caroline Dirkes, Dr. Mary Healy, Fr. Bob Hogan, BBD, Sr. Nancy Kellar, SC, David Mangan, Mark Nimo, Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR, Kevin and Dorothy Ranaghan, Alan Schreck, Dave VanVickle, Bruce Yocum and Music by Living Praise. Sessions will be in English and there will also be sessions for Haitian, Hispanic, Filipino, and Youth (ages 13-25) communities. Bishop Sam Jacobs will be the Principal Celebrant for Mass on Sunday. Location: The Pittsburgh Convention Center at 1000 Fort Duquesne Blvd., Pittsburgh, PA For more information and registration visit www.2017jubileeconference.org |

Mass and Healing Services

Come closer to God with the Sinner2Saint app to develop the tools used by the saints to grow in holiness: prayer, fasting, penance, the Bible, Sacraments, indulgences, the example of the saints, deep reflections, aestheticism, virtues and an honest examination of conscience. You body needs regular exercise, and so does your soul. This app will help you know yourself so you can continue and grow in grace, and live your life as a journey with Christ to Heaven.

Pope Francis and the Renewal
Pope Francis came to a Catholic Charismatic Renewal conference in Rome, attended by around 50,000 people on June 1, 2014. He spoke to the crowd, praised God with them, and asked them to pray for him, which people did using the gift of tongues. He told the charismatics, "Thank you. I feel at home with you." Read an overview of what he said, or the longer text here. Pope Francis lifts his hands in praise and worship at 11:40 in this video of the conference, and at 20 minutes the people sing and pray in tongues. Read more at the Arlington Herald. |
