You can choose to attend all three events or just one or two.

1. Charismatic Leaders’ Consultation
18th-20th 2003, Castelgandolfo, Rome – Italy

The main goal of this Consultation is to give participants the opportunity to reflect and share about the present situation in the Charismatic Renewal worldwide, by sharing from their own experiences in their regions and/or countries and then to discern together where the Spirit is leading the Charismatic Renewal for the future. Special questions on these matters will be prepared for the participants as basic guideline for discussion. Special sessions are planned for key leaders. Charles Whitehead, Allan Panozza and Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa will be the main speakers.

2. Spiritual Retreat for Charismatic Leaders
20th-25th 2003, Castelgandolfo, Rome – Italy

A four day retreat to reflect on the tasks and challenges for the Charismatic Renewal in the third millennium. The reflection will be on holiness, according to “Novo Millennio Ineunte”: the measure of ordinary Christian life is holiness (cf.NMI n.31). Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa will be the retreat master. 
Special guests from ecclesial movements and other Christian churches will join the assembly.
Card. James Stafford and Bp. Stanislaw Rylko, President and Secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, will be among the celebrants of the Eucharist.

3. Pilgrimage to holy sites in Italy
