The Diocese of Helena sponsors a conference of spiritual renewal each year in the spring. It is a wonderful opportunity to deepen one’s relationship with every Person of the Holy Trinity. The Holy Spirit Conference is imbued with the traditions of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. But there is also an openness to the other Catholic spiritualities during this renewal weekend, as is evidenced in the Eucharistic devotion and Marian elements of the conference.

In 2004, Pope John Paul II said:

“Thanks to the Charismatic Movement many ... have rediscovered Pentecost as a living and present reality in their daily life. I desire that the spirituality of Pentecost be spread in the Church as a renewed thirst of prayer, holiness, communion and proclamation ... Receive with gratitude and obedience the charisms that the Spirit does not cease to offer!”

The 30th Annual Holy Spirit Conference, taking place this April 27-29, is a weekend of spiritual renewal. The event will feature several renowned speakers, a junior high youth track and children’s ministry. We welcome you to come and immerse yourself in this outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
