ABOUT US
THE MISSION
The mission of Catholic Charismatic Services (CCS), is to lead people into a life-changing encounter with the Lord through Life in the Spirit Seminars in every parish, so that together we may boldly proclaim: “Jesus is Lord.”
We are also committed to establishing and supporting prayer groups throughout the Archdiocese, helping every Catholic to activate the gifts of the Holy Spirit, to experience healing where there is brokenness, and to grow in the fullness of life in Christ.
Catholic Revival Florida & RevivalFlorida.org are the public ministry expressions of CCS, a lay movement of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal established by the Archdiocese of Miami in 1980 with the blessing and encouragement of Archbishop McCarthy and Bishop Roman.
