About Us

The Catholic Charismatic Renewal of the Dioceses of Tucson (CCRDT) has as its priority, the Evangelization and Catechesis of all the Vicariates that are part of our local Church.
​
We found that there is a need to integrate the different gifts of the Holy Spirit for a more effective service. “United for the Glory of God” is our principal objective for the Spiritual growth of the people of God in our diocese.

Who We Are

We are a diverse Church in which we become enriched, as we unite our cultures, traditions and our different ways of thinking. Therefore it is necessary to clarify our identity and mission that we share in the CCRDT and the directives (statutes) that will help us walk together with one goal, which is our salvation. Having a guide to follow, we will be able to give a better direction to all that will be serving at the parish level, the vicariate level and at the Diocesan Level, having available a number of concepts that will guide us in our mission.

​The Catholic Church of the Diocese of Tucson and of the entire World has been blessed with this movement which is known as the “Charismatic Renewal Movement” or as the “Renewal Movement in the Spirit”. This movement has brought forth abundant fruit of conversion and holiness, the same in Catholics as non-Catholics. Many Catholics who had left the Catholic Church have found, through this movement, a great desire to serve in the different ministries offered in our parishes. Others who were not Catholic have converted to the Holy Catholic Church. The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) has led others to discover their true vocation as parents or as a celibate Religious or in the Priesthood.

The CCR in the Diocese of Tucson has moved the parishioners to start Charismatic Prayer Groups where the gifts of the Holy Spirit are manifested. The CCR has brought our parishioners to discover the Spiritual need of our parishes and thereby help in the Evangelization and Catechesis, as we have been called to do by the Second Vatican Counsel. From Pope John XXIII to our present Pope, the Charismatic Renewal Movement in the Catholic Church has called forth communities to come alive and where their first calling is to save souls.

Directives of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of the Diocese of Tucson

1. Are necessary to maintain order in our ministries within the CCR and to avoid divisions and unacceptable Christian behavior.

2. Will help in the development of each area of a person’s life (human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral) so as to be more compassionate and caring towards our brothers and sisters in our community.

3. Will make us aware of what it means to be united and subordinated in love and obedience to the clergy (Bishop, priests and deacons) and to respect their authority.
​
4. Will strengthen the fraternal communion between all those that have been called to serve God, to have greater unity, seeking to serve others and giving Glory to God.
