charismatic – Charismatic Diocesan Service of Communion

Illuminate your life in Christ with “Lighthouse”!

Lighthouse is a day of renewal for the A&B Diocese brought to you by your Charismatic Diocesan Service of Communion (CDSC) team. Lighthouse is for the Catholic faithful to worship together, receive the sacrament of reconciliation, be inspired by excellent teaching, be immersed in the Holy Spirit and receive prayer ministry from our experienced and gifted prayer ministry teams and to meet friends both old and new.

We are excited to bring you the next Lighthouse event from Guildford on the 15th November 2025, starting 10:30am, at the wonderful St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Guildford. Doors will open at 10:00am. The theme for the day is “Pilgrims of Hope: Love that Builds Bridges” and we will explore this topic with talks from excellent speakers, including Charles Whitehead and Kristina Cooper.

The day includes prayerful praise and worship, prayer ministry for healing or other intentions with our experienced prayer ministry team, the sacrament of reconciliation, adoration, holy Mass and also you can gain the indulgences of the Holy Door in a Jubilee year. Please remember to bring your lunch and there is time scheduled for us to eat lunch together. Lighthouse will end around 4:30pm.

Our Lighthouse Days of Renewal are Holy Spirit filled events for the whole Catholic community across A&B. Join us on the day, tell your family and friends, and please share details of this event in your parish newsletter, place the poster on your Church notice boards (of course with agreement from your priest!) and spread the exciting news across everyone you know. Let’s together demonstrate “Love that Builds Bridges” in this Jubilee year and let the Holy Spirit fall afresh in abundance, and renew our Church in this Jubilee Year of grace.

“The Promise of The Father” has only just concluded and your A&B CDSC team are already preparing for our next event, Lighthouse II!

The date is set as Saturday 12th October 2024 [note the change of date!]. If you didn’t attend our first Lighthouse, it is an event where the Catholic charismatic faithful across A&B can collect for sound teaching, Holy Mass, confession and prayer ministry and to offer powerful worship and praise to God. If you attended and enjoyed “The Promise of the Father” then you will love Lighthouse. Please keep the afternoon (likely start time is 2pm) free in your diary and watch this space for more details including the location and speaker as our preparation takes shape.

Some scripture that was shared in the first Lighthouse which was held in November 2023:
“The city had no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gave it light, and its lamp was the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and to it the kings of the earth will bring their treasure.” Revelations 21:23-24

Please pray for this Lighthouse event and for our Diocese and for the Word who is Life pastoral plan and we look forward to welcoming you to Lighthouse II.
