The Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the Diocese of Baton Rouge (CCR-DBR) is an apostolate of evangelization which promotes growth in faith by openness to the spiritual gifts mentioned by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 and by the experience of prayer for Baptism in the Spirit, a prayer for a further yielding to God's will for one's life.
"We believe that the Baptism in the Spirit makes real and revitalizes our Baptism."
– Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap. (preacher to the Papal Household)
"Baptism in the Spirit is a life-transforming experience of the love of God the Father poured into one's heart by the Holy Spirit, received through a surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ."
– Baptism in the Holy Spirit, International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission, 2012
