History of the Charismatic Renewal Movement and Father Edward O’Connor
Father Edward D. O’Connor, C.S.C., was a professor at the University of Notre Dame for forty-one years and was involved in the charismatic movement. He authored several works about the movement, including “Pentecostal Movement in the Catholic Church” and “Marian Apparitions Today - Why So Many?” The charismatic renewal movement within the Catholic Church began in 1966. It is based on the charisms given by the Holy Spirit to deserving individuals in order to strengthen the church, as identified by Saint Paul. The movement emphasizes meetings outside of Mass, which include singing, speaking in tongues, and a personal connection to the Holy Spirit. Its basis in personal worship has met controversy within the Catholic Church, but the movement remains active to the present day.
