The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) movement started in the 1970s specifically in Takoradi by Rev. Fr. Bob Gilmour, a Holy Cross missionary from the USA.

Its formal national coordination however started in the early 1980s by Rev. Fr. Ernst Sievers, a ‘White Father Missionary’ from Germany, with the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference approval. From 1970 to 2011, the CCR has grown about 2000 prayer groups in twenty (20) Dioceses and in fifty (50) Tertiary Institutions including the Major Seminaries in Ghana.
