The mission of Catholic Renewal Services of Ottawa (CRSO) is to unite the various ministries from across the diocese of Ottawa / Cornwall who have the Charismatic Renewal as a foundational element of their ministry. It is our discernment that Christ greatly desires to bring about unity between our various ministries at this time. The goal of CRSO is to be a focal point to foster this unity by facilitating connections between ministries and providing vehicles that build unity.

​

In addition to being a vehicle for unity, CRSO is committed to spreading the Fire of the Holy Spirit across our region. We see ourselves as 'Fire Starters' who ignite the fire of the Holy Spirit in souls by enabling them to encounter the Holy Spirit in a deeper way through the ‘Baptism in the Holy Spirit’ experience. This is accomplished by offering Holy Spirit Empowerment workshops to parishes across our region. It is also accomplished through the promotion of regional CRSO events, such as conferences and periodic mornings of renewal.

 

Jesus came to cast a fire on the earth, and would that it were already burning across our region!
