We are members of the Body of Christ and live in a covenant relationship with other brothers and sisters. We have each made specific commitments to our local community but also desire to be in relationship with other committed brothers and sisters who are living a covenant life.
OUR FOUNDING
The North American Network of Charismatic Covenant Communities (NAN) was formed by the leaders of various Charismatic Communities following the creation of CHARIS. CHARIS was formed on June 9th 2019 at the specific request of Pope Francis as a single worldwide service organization to support the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. CHARIS brought together the Catholic Fraternity (who supported the Catholic Charismatic Communities) and ICCRS (who supported all other expressions of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal). The leaders of Communities from the Catholic Fraternity desired to continue their fraternal association as well as expand their association with Catholic and ecumenical covenant communities worldwide with a focus on North America.The NAN has partnered with CHARIS leadership in setting up this new entity so that it is fully aligned with CHARIS’ mission and objectives.
