CHARIS is the international service of communion for the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, which is fully part of the Catholic Church. It was created at the express request of Pope Francis and began its service at Pentecost 2019, to foster unity among all expressions of the Renewal.
In Belgium, our National Service of Communion connects charismatic communities, prayer groups and initiatives across the country's language borders. New here? Explore below who we are and how we serve.
