Christ Renews His Parish is a one day opportunity to get away from the distractions of our busy world to hear spiritual life stories from fellow Parishioners. There is heartfelt sharing..., of their faith. You will be inspired by the talks given at CRHP and will have a chance to reflect, to pray and if you wish, to comment on how one of the talks relates to your own faith journey. While the talks are “real world” and very human, the talks are all tied to scripture and to the Holy Spirit. Like CRHP participants before you, you may experience a number of pleasant surprises that you will never forget.
WHY PARTICIPATE IN CRHP?
For the best of reasons: the Renewal is designed to help you strengthen your faith and to renew your commitment to Jesus Christ. In the process, you will get to know other men or women in the parish and will look forward to greeting them at parish activities for many years.
St. Christopher's began the "Christ Renews His Parish" program in January of 2002. Today countless men and women of our parish have experienced the loving care, support, and friendship of fellow parishioners in a renewed and oftentimes life changing way. People who have seen one another in church weekly for years, now people not only recognize one another but truly know and share a bond that have never existed before. Friendships have developed out of our common thread; our shared relationship with the Lord. The coming together for a retreat has not only created lasting relationships with fellow parishioners but a renewed spirituality and personal connection to God and to others who share that connection with us.
We hope you will be joining us for our next "Christ Renews His Parish" Renewal.
I believe our gifts are given to us to use -- for the betterment of others, ourselves and to bring others into His kingdome. Eunice E.
Give Yourself the Gift of Time?
The Women’s and Men’s CRHP people invite you to take time away from daily life, regular activities.. .from stress of work, the demands of children, and your regular schedule. It is a luxury of time. We are all on such tight schedules that we forget to reserve some time to reflect. A day with CRHP can also be a time to meet new friends and get closer to the Lord than you’ve ever been before.
"Christ Renews His Parish"
is a retreat hosted by parishioners of a Catholic Church
for their fellow parishioners. .
CHANGE TO CRHP RENEWAL DAY
The Christ Renew His Parish Program at St Christopher has decided to no longer hold overnight retreats and has developed a program that will begin and end on the same day.
Many of our parishioners have found it difficult to find the time for the 30 hour retreat format and we hope with the new single day renewal, more of our parish community will take part in this wonderful experience.
Mark your calendars with these dates, and don’t miss this opportunity to get together with others from your parish.
Can you imagine how happy and welcome the Holy Spirit will be if you gave a special invitation. Sabina R.
As is said -- God never said it would be a rose garden, but maybe it is, because there are many thorns that give us pain in life. Barbara N.

What we choose to do is not always easy; how we choose to do it may not always be right, but when we follow in our faith the path always seems to lead us in the right direction. Lynn P.
