Canonical Identity & Vatican Mandate

Who We
Are.

CHARIS (Catholic Charismatic Renewal International Service) is not a governing body, but a Service of Communion. Canonical statutes were promulgated on December 8, 2018, by the Vatican's Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life.

CHARIS Asia serves as the official continental organism of CHARIS International, coordinating with National Services of Communion (NSCs), diocesan renewal teams, and charismatic realities across Asia and the Arabian Gulf.

Affiliated with CHARIS International (Rome)

Canonical Continental Service of Communion for Asia & Middle East under the Holy See.
