The 5th National Catholic Charismatic Congress organized by the National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the Philippines will be held in the Archdiocese of Cebu on May 28-31 this year.
Themed “Spirit-filled Communities Growing Together as the Body of Christ”, the congress is expected to draw thousands of participants from various Charismatic communities and prayer groups all over the country.
The four-day event will feature praise and worship, talks and workshops, Baptism in the Holy Spirit on the eve of Pentecost and testimonies of healing.
A talk on “Growing Together as the Body of Christ” will be given on the first day. The second day will feature “Maturing in the Word and the Eucharist.” The third day will have two conferences, “New Challenges for the CCR-Philippines” and “CCR Communities in Transformational Development.” The last day of the Congress, being Pentecost Sunday, will fittingly feature a talk titled “The Holy Spirit and the Body of Christ.”
With Cebu International Convention Center as the site, the upcoming Congress adds to a hosts of activities set to enliven the jubilee celebration of the archdiocese.
The Metropolitan archdiocese of Cebu is set to mark its 75th anniversary as an archdiocese on April 28.
The Charismatic congress will be an occasion to celebrate the Pentecost of the Nations, a worldwide project of the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Service (ICCRS), and one of the main objectives of the event. It will also serve as a triduum for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday; and a time (Kairos) of praying and reflecting on growing together as Spirit-filled Catholic Charismatic Ministries.
