The Duquesne Weekend was a retreat for Duquesne University students which initiated the charismatic renewal in the Catholic Church.[1] The retreat was held on February 17–19, 1967, at The Ark and the Dove retreat center in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, United States.[2]

Background

In 1966, graduate student Ralph A. Keifer and history professor William G. Storey of Duquesne University began using the Pentecost sequence Veni Sancte Spiritus to pray for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit.[3] During this period they attended a Cursillo, and were given two books which describe the experience of baptism in the Holy Spirit: The Cross and the Switchblade and They Speak With Other Tongues.

In February 1967, Keifer and Storey were themselves baptized in the Holy Spirit at an Episcopalian charismatic prayer group.[2] At the time, Keifer and Storey had already been organizing a student retreat, and, on account of their experience, they decided to center the retreat on the Holy Spirit.[4]

Account of the retreat

One of the retreatants, Patti Gallagher Mansfield, described the Saturday night of the retreat as follows:[3] Шаблон:Blockquote

Many of the students, including Mangan, reported speaking in tongues that night in the chapel.[5][6]

Aftermath

Keifer sent the news of the retreat to the Catholics at the University of Notre Dame, where a similar event soon after occurred, and the baptism in the Holy Spirit began to spread.[7] For example, by March 1967, Ralph C. Martin, a leader in the Cursillo movement, had become among the earliest beneficiaries of the Duquesne Weekend, and went on to become a major leader in the Catholic charismatic renewal.[8]
