CHARIS is Pope Francis’ initiative to bring together all expressions of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal—prayer groups, covenant communities, schools of evangelization, media, youth ministries, and more—under one unified service. Erected within the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life, CHARIS reflects the Pope’s desire for the whole Church to experience the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. In Canada, the CHARIS National Service of Communion (CNSC) works to unite the Charismatic Renewal nationwide, promote Baptism in the Holy Spirit, foster the charisms, and support the mission of the New Evangelization.
