The Birmingham Catholic Charismatic Renewal Conference is one of the key gatherings of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the UK, offering a rich opportunity for prayer, worship and spiritual renewal in the power of the Holy Spirit. Held annually in Birmingham, the conference brings together Catholics from across the country and beyond for a focused time of encounter with God.
At the heart of the conference is a simple but profound vision: to gather in praise and worship, to receive sound and Spirit-filled teaching, and to celebrate the Eucharist at the centre of daily life. Each day is structured around worship, talks from experienced local and international speakers, and the celebration of Holy Mass—“the source and summit” of the Church’s life.
The conference is deeply rooted in the life of the Catholic Church while fully embracing the grace of the Charismatic Renewal. It provides a space where the gifts of the Holy Spirit—teaching, prophecy, healing and prayer ministry—can be exercised in a way that is faithful to Catholic doctrine and open to renewal. Participants are invited not only to deepen their personal relationship with Christ, but also to experience the transforming work of the Spirit in a communal setting.
Typically held over several days, the gathering includes vibrant praise and worship, scripture-based teaching, healing services, and opportunities for personal prayer ministry. Many who attend speak of being renewed in faith, healed in heart, and strengthened in their call to mission. The conference is therefore not simply an event, but a time of spiritual formation—equipping people to live more fully as disciples in everyday life.
While clearly Catholic in identity, the conference also resonates more widely with the broader Charismatic Renewal. It reflects that same call to a Church alive in the Spirit—renewed in worship, rooted in Scripture, and united in mission. In this sense, it forms part of a larger movement of renewal that crosses historic boundaries, drawing Christians into a deeper experience of God’s love and presence.
For individuals, prayer groups, and parish communities alike, the Birmingham Conference offers a valuable time to step aside from the demands of daily life, to be refreshed in the Spirit, and to return strengthened for service in the Church and the world.
