This sacred gathering, launched by the grace of God through the Catholic Community Mother of Divine Love in August 1999, brings together faithful members, anointed leaders, and devoted coordinators of prayer groups and new communities born from the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. The Leaders' Forum seeks to deepen spiritual communion and foster Spirit-led collaboration among the faithful, encouraging the transformative experience of Baptism in the Holy Spirit within the Church and discerning new pathways for evangelizing the world with the power of Pentecost. Through God's providence, previous editions of the Forum have blessed communities in Africa (Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso) and in Europe (Belgium and France), where the Holy Spirit has moved mightily among His people.
Through previous editions, we have witnessed the Lord raising up a new generation of men and women filled with the Holy Spirit, empowered for ministry and aflame with divine love.
THE INTERNATIONAL CHARISMATIC LEADERS FORUM (11th edition) WILL TAKE PLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE AMERICAS FROM FRIDAY 5TH JUNE TO SUNDAY 7TH JUNE 2026 AT MARY, QUEEN OF THE WORLD CATHEDRAL, 1085 CATHEDRAL STREET, MONTREAL
