(CRHP) is a process designed to bring members of a parish together in Christ. It emphasizes continued growth in your Christian life and in your daily contact with others. The weekend offers an excellent opportunity to move away from regular activities and commitments to be spritually and personally enriched in a friendly, relaxing, yet highly stimulating environment. Christ Renews His Parish
What happens on the weekend?
The weekends is an opportunity to hear presentations of personal stories and discuss how Catholics function in our modern, complex, fast-paced society. The renewal weekend provides an opportunity for individual spiritual growth through prayer and personal reflection. You will share conversation and thoughts (as much or as little as you desire) with others in the parish who are as challenged as you are with the many demands of everyday life presented by families, society, and jobs. Each CRHP weekend is conducted at the parish by a team of parishioners who attended a previous weekend. The weekend begins at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday and ends at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love
and to do good. Let us not give up the habit
of meeting together, as some are doing.
Instead, let us encourage one another all the more,
since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming nearer.
Hebrews 10:25
