Each year, we print a directory of all the Catholic charismatic prayer groups in the Archdiocese of Seattle. WWCCR has discerned the following basic criteria for those we include in our directory of Catholic Charismatic Prayer Groups and Communities:

• The group seeks to foster a personal experience of Pentecost for each person by offering opportunities for individuals to encounter Jesus as Savior and Lord and opportunities to experience baptism in the Holy Spirit
• The group is committed to discerning, developing and using charismatic gifts
• The group is operating with the approval of their pastor and seeks to cultivate a life of holiness in a Catholic context of faith and practice
• The group encourages evangelistic witness to Jesus Christ through personal testimony, through proclamation of the Gospel, and through spiritual and corporal works of mercy
