WHAT IS CRHP?

Christ Renews His Parish is an expereience and a process designed to enable an individual to move from an experience of “church” to an experience of “being church for others.”

CRHP was developed in 1969 and has been implemented in over 500 parishes in 21 states. CRHP is centered around parish renewal weekends and stresses a clear focus on the Gospel. It allows parish renewal in furthering conversion and community; ministry and prayer; healing and holiness; spiritual growth and gospel service. CRHP emphasizes continued growth in Christian life during our daily contacts with others and offers an excellent opportunity to meet other parishioners.

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE WEEKEND?

The weekend enables you to hear and discuss how Catholics function in our modern, complex, fast-paced society. The renewal weekend provides an atmosphere for individual spiritual growth through prayer and personal reflection.

You can share conversation and thoughts (as much or as little as you desire) with others during the weekend who also encounter the many demands of everyday life presented by family, jobs and society. Mass will be celebrated during the weekend and the opportunity for reconciliation will be provided.

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE WEEKEND HELD?

The weekend begins at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and ends late afternoon on Sunday. The weekend is held at St. Pius X in the New Fellowship Hall and cafeteria. Meals and cots will be provided.

HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?

A team made up of a parish priest and people who have attended previous weekends conduct the weekend. There are four CRHP weekends per year, two for men and two for women. Each weekend is limited to 36 participants. Casual and comfortable clothing is appropriate for the weekend.

A registration fee is requested. Arrangements can be made for anyone interested in attending, but unable to afford the registration fee.

THE WEEKEND IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY “YES” TO A CLEARER AND DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
