NSC and NSC Council Members formed a special team to pray and discern through each step of the design process with the goal of a logo that would embody the new name and dynamic launch into the action of Bring.Build.Serve.
Tongues of fire from Pentecost and baptismal waters come together to form a dove taking flight – the movements of the Holy Spirit.
The NSC / NSC Council members will continue to serve the Catholic Charismatic Renewal as part of a national organization, but now with a different name: Pentecost Today USA.
Our new name captures our new vision and mission in response to the CHARIS commission and clearly distinguishes us from the newly-formed CHARIS National Service of Communion USA, of which we are a key participant:
Founded in the 1970s by renewal leaders from across the nation, Pentecost Today USA (National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of the U.S.) raises up, connects, and equips renewal leaders.
As the NSC launches its new name, Pentecost Today USA, we are stepping into the action of the CHARIS-rooted mission to:

At Unbound: Heart of the Father Ministries, our calling is to equip the church with insights, practical guidelines, teaching, and resources so that the broken and lost can encounter Jesus in the darkest area of their soul. Our desire is for people to experience liberation in Jesus Christ and walk in the freedom of knowing they are children of the eternal Father.

From across the nation, teams from the Unbound Network —and even a team from Scotland—will offer online prayer during adoration led by Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, at Jesus 2020.
Prayer teams will serve from 4:15pm-6:15pm EST, and each prayer session will last approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Although these sessions are for individual prayer needs and not Unbound prayer per se, the Unbound Network brings the gift and grace of its prayer teams’ significant training, formation, and ability to pray alongside people confidentially in a posture of faith and love.

Christian prayer is incarnational and trinitarian. That is to say that it involves our whole human nature, and it is always relational. Like our relationships with other human beings, we relate with God through our emotions, thoughts, words, and actions. As with our human relationships, our intimacy with God deepens through vulnerability, and our union with Him goes beyond words and images. Charismatic prayer fits naturally and neatly into this bigger picture of Christian prayer. In this talk, Father Boniface Hicks, OSB, will explain how the charismatic gifts join the broader tradition of Christian prayer.
“Lord, Renew Your wonders in this our day, as by a new Pentecost….” In miraculous and astounding ways, God heard and answered this prayer of the Church during the 20th Century. What is the correlation between Pope Leo XIII and Pentecostalism? How did spirit-filled Christians contribute to the beginnings of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal? What does February of 1967 have to do with me? Speaking from The Ark and The Dove Worldwide, Sister Marie Fidelis, DLJC, will lead us on a journey through the origins and history of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, leading us to renew our commitment to spread this grace throughout the world, proclaiming Jesus Christ is Lord!
Jesus is not a “one and done” kind of God. Instead, He continually renews the face of the earth. In 1967, God used a retreat weekend for Duquesne University students to start a spiritual fire that spread to millions of people around the world. Fifty years later, that grace returned to Duquesne in a special way to light the path again! Prior to entering seminary, Peter Mallampalli studied at Duquesne for two years, so he knows the story well. As he shares it, may our faith be strengthened by hearing of God’s generous gift and His continuing faithfulness in blessing the good work that he began many years ago.
How do we strive for unity in the body of Christ when the divisions around us threaten to separate us? Matt Lozano of Heart of the Father Ministries shares about the importance of Christian unity and ways to preserve and strengthen it, despite disagreements and conflicts.
Matt Maher – Jesus, King of Glory: Embracing Ecumenism
A nine time-GRAMMY® nominee and three-time GMA Dove Award winner, singer/songwriter Matt Maher is well known for songs such as his Top 5 CCLI song “Lord, I Need You” and the chart-topping radio single “Because He Lives (Amen).” Penning numerous songs recorded by Chris Tomlin, Crowder, Third Day, Jeremy Camp, Matt Redman, Hillsong, Casting Crowns, Meredith Andrews, Jesus Culture, Jars of Clay, and Passion, Matt will share his own ecumenical experience and challenge us to a posture of listening and humility as we embrace ecumenism in our own lives.
In her work with Vagabond Missions, Lauren Koath has seen firsthand the effects of spiritual and physical poverty in the inner city. Her work has allowed her to connect with the poor in spirit to bring the hope and joy of the Gospel into the streets of Pittsburgh. Lauren will reflect on her time as an inner-city missionary and challenge us to seek, find, and share the incredible love of the Holy Spirit among and for the poor.
Father Anthony Ouellette – Jesus, Good Shepherd: Hierarchical Support of the Renewal
Leadership and its structures for the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the United States grew and developed in a variety of ways since its birth, including diocesan, covenant community, ministry, ethnic, and liaison. The CHARIS initiative and its structuring as part of the Roman Curia affirms that this current of grace is for the whole of the Catholic Church. Father Anthony Ouellette examines how we, in our current positions of leadership and structure, respond, adapt, and collaborate to make this grace available for all in the Church.
Renewal Ministries strengthens and equips Catholics for evangelization and ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit by helping them know the personal love of God in Jesus and grow in holiness.
We proclaim Christ through a weekly television program, two daily radio programs, mission work in more than 35 countries, social media outreach, parish missions, seminars and conferences, books and articles, id’s outreach to young adults, Be Love Revolution’s outreach to young women, Zion’s outreach to young men, and more.

A recording of each keynote will be available to watch on demand approximately 15 mins after the session ends.
2020 is a year that all of us will remember . . . probably forever. It has perhaps been one of the most difficult and strange years of our whole lifetime. But we must never forget the powerful reality that JESUS is still LORD, even of 2020! And it’s not despite the difficulties, but actually because of them and through them!
Jesus is Lord, He is King, He is sovereign–over the pandemic, over all the chaos and uncertainty. With God, there is always more. More zeal. More chances to start anew. More Jesus!
Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, will speak on how Jesus, the King of Kings, calls us beyond a life that is insular, tired, and boring. Instead, He anoints us with the Holy Spirit and with fire, then sends us out in power to a world thirsting for the Gospel.
Have you stopped to consider why? Why has everything that has taken place happened? Why are we here, right now, in this unique time in history? The words from the book of Esther ring true for us, “For such a time as this.” Perhaps we were born for such a time as this?
God has planned all along that in this very difficult time in history we would be here, that we would be alive right now and would be called to be beacons of hope and love in the midst of a hurting and broken world. God has put us here on this earth at this time for a reason, and each of us needs to reconnect with our fundamental calling and mission.
Peter Herbeck and Mary Bielski will help us understand that mission and more firmly respond to the call Jesus has placed on our lives.
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal has taken a step forward into the heart of the Church with the recent formation of CHARIS, at the direction of Pope Francis. CHARIS is designed to assist the vision and voice of the renewal as we seek to do the Lord’s work in bringing the baptism in the Holy Spirit to the whole Church!
Bishop Peter Smith, of the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon, is an appointed representative of the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life as a member of the CHARIS leadership team. In this presentation, he will clearly explain the structure and organization of this new organization and its exciting mission to support and guide the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in its ministry to “Bring-Build-Serve” the body of Christ throughout the world.
In the book of Ezekiel, the Lord tells His prophet to look out over a valley of dry bones. As Ezekiel watches, the bones come back together and take on flesh, but he sees that there is no breath in them. Something very important is missing.
In this talk, Dr. Scott Hahn will offer a powerful theological reflection and personal witness and share how the Lord fulfilled His promise to Ezekiel that, “I will put my Spirit within you and you shall live.”
How has and is Jesus leading and empowering us to bring baptism in the Holy Spirit to the whole Church, build unity in the body of Christ, and serve the poor? In this discussion we will unpack the practical ways to step into the action of the CHARIS Commission to Bring-Build-Serve.
Hosts: John Beaulieu & Alicia Hartle
Panelists: Matt Lozano, Lauren Koath, Sister Marie Fidelis, DLJC, and Peter Mallampalli
What are your dreams, the big goals you have set for yourself? There’s more for you. How’s your spiritual life going? Have you experienced the love of God? There’s even more! Ever feel like you are unworthy, or that you somehow have crossed that line where the mercy of God might run out for you? There is infinitely more! He is superabundant! Our God is not a God of limitations. And there is no end to His mercy, His grace, His power and His love for us.
And more importantly, there’s more that WE can give to access what God is offering to us. It’s a fundamental principle of the spiritual life: God can never be outdone in generosity. If you think you have even begun to receive all that God wants to give, think again; there’s more!
Jim Beckman will lead us in a powerful reflection to help us see the places in our hearts we still need to give to Jesus in order to experience His transforming love and become bold conduits of His mercy to others.
We look to Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the Spouse of the Holy Spirit as an intimate and powerful model of what it looks like to say “yes” to God with humility and docility, and without reservation. Being open and receptive to God takes courage, but the fruit of Mary’s yes was Jesus Christ’s entry into the world. Are you open to receiving the Holy Spirit? What will be the fruit of your response to the Holy Spirit? Are you willing to go where He sends you? Are you willing to be the person He has created you to be?
The time of eucharistic adoration, prayer, and empowerment that follows this talk will focus on the fact that now is the time to step out in hope and faith, now is the time to say “yes” to the Holy Spirit, and now is the time to deeply believe that God is worthy of trust and that Jesus truly is Lord!
Magnificat exists to evangelize and to encourage Catholic women to grow in holiness by opening more fully to the power and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The ministry is dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God, an image of the Church, and model for all Christians, especially women.
The essence of Magnificat is the encounter between Mary and Elizabeth.
Magnificat emanates from a desire to share with Catholic women the fruit experienced through the Roman Catholic Church and Charismatic Renewal. It is a response to what Jesus says: “The gift you have received, give as a gift.” Matthew 10:8
