“In Jesus all the nations will put their hope.”
cf. Mt 12:21

Catholic Charismatic Youth from all over the world have a common aim in 2012. In their mission of spreading the culture of Pentecost, they will gather in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil from July 10th to 15th. They will show to the rest of the world that their hope lies in just one name: Jesus. This will be the World Youth Meeting of Catholic Charismatic Renewal, the first event with the goal of gathering our youth from different parts of the globe.

The event is one of the activities promoted by ICCRS in preparation for the Golden Jubilee to be celebrated in the year 2017, but it also serves to introduce the Catholic Charismatic Renewal youth to the entire world. 5,000 young people are expected for the event, representing more than 100 countries.
The programme is varied, including several meaningful activities for youth. The first activity programmed is a pilgrimage with a cross as a great public manifestation of faith. The programme also offers pre-conference activities for the participants from abroad, who will be able to choose from four missionary activities.
On the following days, the programme will include prayer and worship sessions, talks, formation activities and masses during the day, whereas in the evenings there will be cultural and artistic presentations by the different countries participating in the Conference.
Providing an opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of Foz do Iguaçu, there will be a different activity on Saturday: the participants will go on a walk to the National Park of Iguaçu. It will be a pilgrimage that includes spirituality, sharing of experiences and contact with nature!

An important highlight is that CCR in Brazil will hold simultaneously its XXX National Congress, an outstanding occasion for sharing as CCR family.

Objectives

• Gather together youth from all over the world to celebrate our faith and start the fire of the Holy Spirit.
• Follow the path of our vision towards the CCR Golden Jubilee.
• Prepare spiritually our hearts to the upcoming World Youth Day that will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2013.
