About Charis

Spirit Life 25 is organized by Charis, an initiative of the Holy See, led by the Dicastery for the Laity, Family, and Life. Pope Francis has called Charis to share the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the whole Church, to work for Christian unity, and to serve the poor. This mission guides our outreach as we bring Spirit Life 25 to communities across Ireland.
