En Español

Catholic Charismatic Renewal ministries are available in the Diocese of Little Rock in English and Spanish. Charismatic renewal is an ecclesial movement recognized by the Vatican that arises from the action of the Holy Spirit; an experience of Pentecost. It invigorates the awareness of everything that Jesus revealed to us and evokes an enthusiastic response to live the faith of the Catholic Church.
