More Information
This Holy Spirit Seminar is a freel workshop intended to familiarize and connect the participant with the power of the Holy Spirit.   The goal is to start the foundation for a deeper personal relationship with God, ushering in a fuller expression of Christian faith through a more effective prayer life and increased love for the Church, the Sacraments, and the Bible. The Seminar will assist the participant in having an increased awareness of the Holy Spirit working in his or her daily life and in the life of the Church.
Participants will be guided through prayer for the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit", which is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit first received by Christians at the original Pentecost. This outpouring is not a true Baptism, but instead a renewal of the gift of the Holy Spirit that was given at the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation. With a renewed relationship with God, the Holy Spirit is able to bring about the same signs and wonders today as in the lives of the early Christians.  According to International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services, over 120 million Catholics worldwide have experienced the outpouring of the Holy Spirit through the grace of Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Who Is It For?
- Everyone who yearns for a new awareness and deeper relationship with God by starting a life renewed by the Holy Spirit ("Baptized in the Spirit", Acts 1:8) are encouraged to attend.
