Fully Catholic (ecclesial maturity) and Fully Charismatic The Second Vatican Council taught that the Church is both hierarchical and charismatic (Lumen Gentium, 4). In Catholic Charis- matic Renewal we embrace and celebrate the role of the hierarchy (pope, bishops, priests, deacons), the importance of the Magis- terium (teaching authority of the pope and bishops), and the charismatic dimension of the Church in which the Holy Spirit continues to impart his gifts to every member of the Church for the building up of the Body of Christ, evangelization and service. Fully Catholic means that persons supporting charismatic renewal (individuals, groups, ministries) work in communion with the Catholic Church (teachings, leadership, ministry). Pope John Paul II called this “ecclesial maturity.” The characteristics of ecclesial maturity (Christifideles Laici, 30) include: 1) Giving primacy to the call to holiness; 2) Fidelity to the Church’s Magisterium in doctrine and morals; 3) Communion with the pope and the local bishop; 4) Sharing in the mission of the Church; 5) Commitment to furthering the dignity of the person in human society. We seek to keep these five characteristics in mind so that our groups work fully in communion with the Catholic Church. We em- brace and celebrate all Catholic teaching, structures and ministries, while bringing to them our call to be a reminder in the Church of the ways the Holy Spirit is important for each area of Catholic life. Fully charismatic means that we seek to live in union with the Holy Spirit in his full role. We foster the dynamic grace of baptism in the Holy Spirit which empowered the members of the early Church at Pentecost. The action of the Holy Spirit includes: 1) Experiencing union with God. 2) Inner transformation (the Spirit of Truth and Love forms in us a new mind and heart), leading to personal holiness. 3) Ministry empowered by charisms, including the gifts of tongues, prophecy, healing, and one-to-one witnessing for the purpose of evangelization and service. 4) Building communities that witness to a renewed Catholic life. We seek to be formed, empowered, and led by the Spirit. We embrace and celebrate all the charisms, and charismatic activity throughout the history of the Church that has been tested and affirmed by the Church. We seek to grow in the gifts of Isaiah 11 and the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5).

    Welcome - Episcopal Ordination of Bishop Michael Boulette March 20, 2017 ¡Hoy es un día de gran alegría para toda la Arquidiócesis de San Antonio y lo es también personalmente para mí! Este acontecimiento marca la conclusión exitosa de una solicitud que se ha hecho a lo largo de cuatro años para tener un Obispo Auxiliar aquí. Puedo asegurarte, Obispo Electo Michael, y a todos ustedes, que ha valido la pena la espera que ordenemos a alguien como tú para el episcopado. You follow a long line of distinguished auxiliary bishops here: Bishops Raymondo Pena, Charles Grahmann, Ricardo Ramirez, Bernard Popp, Edmund Carmody, Joseph Galante, John Yanta, Thomas Flanagan, Patrick Zurek, and Oscar Cantú. Our beloved Archbishop Patrick Flores was also an auxiliary bishop here before being appointed bishop of El Paso and then archbishop of San Antonio. Msgr. Mike, we gather this afternoon with your family and friends -- old friends who have supported you in the past and new ones whom you will love and serve as a bishop and who have already reached out to you with prayerful support. In particular, I mention your dear Mother, who is with us today -- supporting you as she has done for all of your life. I also welcome Archbishop Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio and representative of Pope Francis -- my brother archbishops and bishops -- esteemed ecumenical and interfaith leaders -- representatives of the civic community -- priests, religious, permanent deacons, faithful of the Archdiocese of San Antonio. Mike, aunque naciste en Hudson Falls, Nueva York, has sido texano y miembro de esta Iglesia local desde que tu familia se mudó a Fredericksburg cuando tenías nueve años.
