Vision

Our vision is to inspire a generation of faith-filled leaders and communities who live out the charism of St. Eugene, encounter Jesus deeply, and create lasting bonds within the Charismatic family, united in mission and celebration.

Mission Purpose Statement

Our mission with the upmost hospitality, is to develop leaders, foster encounters with Jesus, build community, and celebrate faith within the Charismatic family by offering forums, local training, mission experiences, pilgrimages and spiritual resources.
