Duquesne Weekend in the context of Catholic Charismatic Renewal
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) is a movement within the Catholic Church and part of the wider Charismatic movement that spread across various Christian denominations.
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal has been described as a "current of grace". It began in 1967 when Catholics from Duquesne University attended a Protestant worship service and claimed to have been "baptized in the Holy Spirit". It is heavily influenced by American Protestantism, especially Evangelicalism and Pentecostalism, emphasizing a "personal relationship with Jesus", deep emotional experiences, and expressing the "gifts of the Holy Spirit".
