CHARIS Nordic, structure and relation to the global Catholic church
CHARIS is led by a moderator, assisted by the International Service of Communion. In order to carry out its administrative functions, CHARIS has an International Office located in the Vatican and is supported by voluntary external collaborators in different parts of the world.
The International Service of Communion helps the Moderator to uphold, expand and promote the objectives of CHARIS; to be in touch with and to study the situation of Catholic Charismatic Renewal in its many expressions at National, Regional and Continental levels; to assure that the diversity of Catholic Charismatic Renewal is respected in the programmes, projects, relationships with other Churches and Christian communities and activities of CHARIS; to discern and give attention to the needs of formation within Catholic Charismatic Renewal.
​
The goal of the Nordic Service of Communion is to build and strengthen the wide and diverse family of Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Nordic countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland).

We are seeking to build communion within the wide and diverse family of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. To this end, they are reaching out to all realities and expressions of the charismatic current of grace in Nordic countries (prayer groups, communities, networks, schools of evangelisation, religious institutes, publishing houses, particular ministries, ecumenical initiatives, youth, etc.)
