What is "Christ Renews His Parish?"

Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) is a process designed to bring members of a parish together in Christ.  It stresses a clear focus on the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ.  This procecss emphasizes continued growth in Christian life and in our daily contacts with others.  The weekend can be a spiritual experience that can make a lasting difference in your life. 

Our goal is to offer an ongoing spiritual experience to everyone in the parish over the age of 19, through two weekends a year, one for men and one for women.

Who Facilitates the Weekend?

The renewal weekend is given for parishioners by parishioners.  The retreat team has been trained over a 13-week period to be prepared to share this weekend with you.  

What Happens During the Weekend?

This is an opportunity to hear and discuss how we live as Catholics in our modern, complex society.  It is an occasion for individual spiritual growth through prayer and personal reflection.  You may share your faith stories in a confidential setting (as much or as little as you want) with others in the parish as challenged as you are with the many demands of everyday life.

Christ our savior is offering you a chance to respond to a closer and deeper relationship with Him.  Sacraments are the focal point of the weekend.
