Mangaluru: Celebrating a rich 49-year history, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement began in 1975 under the guidance of Bishop Late Rev. Dr Basil D’Souza and Bishop Emeritus Most Rev. Dr Aloysius Paul D’Souza, with ongoing support from Most Rev. Dr Peter Paul Saldhana.
Organized by Mangalore Diocesan Service Communion and Bible Commission, along with clergy and religious communities, numerous impactful training programs, prayer gatherings, and conferences have positively influenced thousands in the diocese.
Marking the movement’s 50th year, the ‘Golden Jubilee Megha Conference’ is eagerly anticipated. To commemorate this milestone, the Golden Jubilee Convention is set to unfold at Holy Cross Church, Cordel Grounds, Mangalore, from 22 to 25 Feb 2024.
The four-day event, led by Rev. Fr Joseph Edattu V. C. from Divine Retreat Centre Kerala, expects around 6,000 participants, featuring half-day training sessions for leaders across Mangalore and other Karnataka Dioceses. 
This gathering promises a spiritually enriching environment, incorporating unique religious rituals that allow attendees to seek divine blessings for family prosperity, global peace, and the well-being of all humanity.
