The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) was established in Columbus, Ohio in 1979 by Bishop Edward J. Herrmann. Today, CCR continues to operate under the authority of Earl Fernandes through his appointed liaison, Fr. Patrick Toner, and a Pastoral Board.
The CCR offers events and programs to make known the action and experience of the Holy Spirit in our time with His increased effectiveness played out in our lives. The full role of the Holy Spirit effects an exciting faith journey, marked with both the challenges and rewards of an ever-deepening personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The mission of the CCR belongs to the Holy Spirit.
