The Catholic Charismatic Renewal - Diocese of Baton Rouge

The Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the Diocese of Baton Rouge (CCR-DBR) is a ministry of evangelization which promotes growth in faith by openness to the spiritual gifts mentioned by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 and by the experience of prayer for Baptism in the Spirit (prayer for a further yielding to God's will for one's life.)

Typical Charismatic Functions

  • Weekly prayer group meetings featuring Praise and Worship
  • Clustered or Joint Prayer Meetings
  • Holy Spirit Retreat Days (Life in the Spirit Seminars) / Annual Day of Renewal with featured speaker / Intercessory Prayer / Masses for Healing & Intergenerational Healing (occasional) / Prayer Teams for Inner Healing Prayer and Deliverance (by appointment) / Pentecost Celebration (Mass and Fellowship)


"We believe that the Baptism in the Spirit makes real and revitalizes our Baptism." (Rev. Raniero
Cantalamessa, OFM Cap. (preacher to the Papal Household)

"Baptism in the Spirit is a life-transforming experience of the love of God the Father poured into one's heart by the Holy Spirit, received through a surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ." (Baptism in the Holy Spirit, International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission, 2012)
