Comité Nacional de Servicio Hispano

What Comité Nacional de Servicio Hispano does

Comité Nacional de Servicio Hispano (CNSH), operating under the trade name RCC Hispana, is a private religious nonprofit organization that serves as the official national body for the pastoral care of the Hispanic Catholic Charismatic Renewal (RCC) community in the United States and Canada. Founded in June 1990 at the ECCLE in Chicago, Illinois, the organization is governed by a committee of six members, one secretary, and one spiritual advisor (eight total), and oversees a National Service Team that includes eight regional representatives and the National Youth Secretariat. The committee divides its territory into eight geographic regions spanning the US and Canada.

CNSH delivers its mission through a structured portfolio of formation programs and events rather than technology products. The core offering is the Plan Nacional de Formación, comprising eight charismatic formation modules and five ministerial modules covering topics such as pneumatology, prayer groups, charisms, intercession, preaching, and music ministry. The organization also runs the annual ECCLE leadership assembly, regional conferences, the Life in the Holy Spirit Seminars (Seminario de Vida en el Espíritu Santo), intercession ministry services, the Revista Digital RCCH digital magazine, and the National Youth Secretariat, which is organizing the II Encuentro Nacional Juvenil scheduled for 2026. There is no proprietary technology underlying these offerings; the technology footprint consists of a WordPress website (rcchispana.org), a Facebook page, and a Shopify-based Tienda Virtual Carismática.

The revenue model is primarily donation-based, with contributions solicited by mail to the Brooklyn office, supplemented by ancillary Shopify store sales of event registrations, song downloads, logos, and promotional materials. Go-to-market is community- and event-led, leveraging the eight regional representatives and the broader RCC prayer group ecosystem (~2,000 Spanish-language prayer groups in US parishes with Hispanic ministry). CNSH partners with the Catholic Charismatic Renewal National Conference and is affiliated with the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services (ICCRS), the Vatican-recognized global organism for RCC promotion.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• CHARIS (International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services): The Vatican-recognized international service body for the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (formerly ICCRS). CNSH operates as the Hispanic-language national affiliate within this same global RCC ecosystem, making CHARIS its closest structural and missional peer.
• Cursillo Movement in the Catholic Church: A Catholic lay movement focused on spiritual formation through three-day encounters, paralleling CNSH's Life in the Spirit Seminars. Both are grassroots Catholic renewal movements with regional structures and English/Spanish tracks.
• National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (English-language): The English-language counterpart national committee for the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the US. CNSH originally spun out of a joint ad hoc committee with this body, and the two remain parallel national structures serving different linguistic communities.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Charities USA: The national umbrella for Catholic charitable and social service agencies. While CNSH is pastoral rather than social-service focused, both operate as national Catholic nonprofit infrastructure serving Hispanic and other communities across the US.
• Neocatechumenal Way: A Vatican-recognized Catholic movement running formation communities within parishes. Comparable to CNSH as a lay-led Catholic formation organization with itinerant formation leaders and structured curricula.
• Catholic Relief Services: The official US Catholic overseas relief and development agency. Comparable only structurally as a large US-headquartered Catholic nonprofit serving multilingual communities with formal institutional partnerships.
• RENEW International: A larger Catholic pastoral organization focused on parish renewal, small Christian communities, and faith formation. It overlaps with CNSH in Catholic formation and evangelization but serves parishes broadly rather than the specific Hispanic charismatic niche.
• Knights of Columbus: A large Catholic fraternal organization with national infrastructure, Hispanic membership councils, and formation/charity programming. Comparable in scale of national Catholic lay organization but broader in mission than CNSH's charismatic-specific focus.

Emerging players

• FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students): A growing Catholic evangelization and formation organization, particularly active on university campuses. Overlaps with CNSH in Catholic formation methodology and youth outreach but targets a different demographic segment.
• Young Catholic Professionals: A growing Catholic young-adult formation and networking organization. Adjacent to CNSH's National Youth Secretariat in targeting young Hispanic Catholics but focused on professional rather than charismatic spirituality.
