Your A&B Charismatic Service of Communion team have some wonderful events lined up for our Diocese for the 2025 ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ Jubilee Year. You can see details of these below and this page will be kept up-dated as details are confirmed and if any changes are made.
Lighthouse Saturday 26th April
26th April Lighthouse starting 11:30am at St Edward the Confessor, Poundhill, Crawley, RH10 7EQ.
Lighthouse events are a special Day of Renewal for the A&B Diocese and rotated around the Diocese. The focus of this Lighthouse is to give thanks for and to reflect upon the Jubilee Year, and to support parishes and societies who serve the poor.
Pentecost Vigil Mass Saturday 7th June
Pentecost Vigil ‘Re-Union’ Mass 7th June – Location and timing to be published very soon.
A time of thanksgiving for those who attended the 2024 Diocesan The Promise of the Father Life in the Spirit Seminar, but everyone is very welcome to join in our Pentecost Vigil Mass, followed by a time of Adoration and prayer ministry for the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Charismatic Group and Reality Meeting
Diocesan Charismatic Prayer Group and Community Meeting 19th July – location to be determined.
An event to bring together the various manifestations of the Charismatic renewal from across A&B and to share support and to have an opportunity to pray for our Diocese, to worship together, to offer mutual sharing and to discern together the calling of the Holy Spirit for us. This day will conclude with Mass and a shared meal.

We are working with the Chaplaincy team at the University of Sussex to host a Student Life in the Spirit Seminar over the weekend for students from Sussex and elsewhere. Michelle Moran (Sion Community) and Abhy Thomas (the England and Wales CHARIS leader) amongst others will be teaching and the event will end with Mass and a small party for the participants.

Our final Lighthouse of 2025 will be on Saturday 15th November, the theme is yet to be determined but the location is planned to be somewhere in or around Brighton aiming to follow-on from the Life in the Spirit Seminar.
