Life in the Spirit Seminars grew out of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal and since 2019, Pope Francis has been asking CHARIS International - the Catholic Church body which serves the worldwide Catholic Charismatic Renewal - to make the Baptism in the Spirit available around the world, to everyone in the Church. 

To this end we are running Life in the Spirit Seminars. They include the opportunity for you to receive the “Baptism in the Spirit”, a fuller release of the Holy Spirit as described by Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa (Spiritual guide to Pope Francis) as "a renewal of our Baptism [that allows] the Spirit to flow like a fragrance in the Christian life".

There is no charge for taking part in Life in the Spirit, but you will be given the opportunity to make a donation to help cover the costs of the course.

The course helps to enter a deeper relationship with the Lord, to get deeper into the community and to have a personal Pentecost in Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Each evening will begin at 7:15 in the church hall with a meal.

Once you register at Life in the Spirit 2024 at Agency for Evangelisation and Catechesis (rcaos.org.uk) you will be sent more details. You can also speak to Pat or Angie Keane after mass or email them at keane_pat@hotmail.com for more information. Alternately, come along to the first session on 23rd April in the St Margaret’s Church Hall.
