The Catholic Charismatic Renewal Council (CCRC) is a Canadian nonprofit organization (Business Registration Number: 890119662RR0001) serving Catholic communities in the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions. Affiliated with the Archdiocese of Toronto, the council operates under the directives of the Catholic Church to promote spiritual renewal through charismatic practices[1][2].

Mission and Activities
The CCRC focuses on fostering spiritual growth through baptism in the Holy Spirit, emphasizing charismatic prayer, sacramental catechesis, and lay formation[2]. Key initiatives include organizing Life in the Spirit Seminars, discipleship training, and retreats to deepen personal faith experiences[2]. It supports ministries for adults, youth, and children, aligning its programs with the pastoral goals of local dioceses[1][2].

Structure and Reach
The council coordinates with parish-based prayer groups and regional ministries across Metropolitan Toronto, York, Peel, Durham, Simcoe, Dufferin, and Orangeville[2]. It operates under the broader framework of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services of Ontario (CCRSO), established in 1973 at the request of Ontario’s bishops to oversee charismatic renewal efforts province-wide[4]. While distinct from CCRSO, the CCRC functions as a localized service body, collaborating with national and international entities such as CHARIS, the Vatican’s unified body for global charismatic renewal[^5^].

Historical Context
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement gained momentum in Canada during the 1970s, emphasizing renewed baptism in the Holy Spirit and the active use of charisms like prophecy and healing. The CCRC’s establishment reflects this historical wave, providing structured leadership for prayer groups and educational programs[2][4].
