Holy Spirit Centre, Hyderabad, is run by fathers of the Society of Holy Spirit a Society founded by Rev Fr Christu Raj SHS, who is the Director of this Institution. The ministry involves a team of priests, religious and laity who include worship leaders, preachers and intercessors who organize and conduct retreats, conventions and special programs in and outside the Centre.
Inspired by Saint Arnold Janssen, Fr Christuraj a young and aspiring priest, was saddened by the struggles of men and was determined to reach out to them. He fixed his eyes on Jesus his Master and with prayer and fasting, headed towards his goal, his vision. He worked and visited various parishes and other places where he found the people everywhere in search of something.
“Yes Lord, I will go!” said Fr Christuraj and took up the mission of healing, deliverance and reconciliation. He went around spreading the Good news of Jesus on a two-wheeler. “Give us souls Lord! Give us India!” was the cry in the hearts of few more lay people who joined him over the years. Their goal being the gifts and fruits of Holy Spirit should empower everyone on this earth.
