In the Archdiocese of Philadelphia the Catholic Charismatic Renewal:
- Emphasizes the availability of the power and many gifts of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers and the need for a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ to live life to the fullest.
- Encourages the faithful to be empowered by God through the Holy Spirit to live a new kind of life, and be an example of how God’s power can work through us to bring God’s love to everyone we encounter.
- Promotes Prayer Meetings and events where praising God emphasizes the goodness of God, and proclaims with the Church, that God’s grace is given freely to all who will accept it.
