Meet new friends and have a lot of fun when you attend the next Christ Renews His Parish weekend. You'll be glad you did.
Christ Renews His Parish is a program designed to bring members of a parish together in Christ. The emphasis during the weekend is on small group participation. The process is centered on witnessing by team members rather than teaching and discussion and sharing by all. However, in this process everyone does benefit from the weekend.
What happens during the weekend? Most who have participated in the weekend experience say that “you can’t explain what happens; you have to experience it.” This is your invitation to that “experience.”
You will enjoy the weekend. It will include some group activities and interactions, some prayer together, and some reflection by “team” members on such subjects as:
The Father’s Loving Care, Scripture, Eucharist, Christian Community, and
Christian Awareness.
What it is not.
It is not a silent retreat but you will have an opportunity to reflect.
CHRP is not an organization but a dynamic faith based program centered on Christ. CRHP is in the parish, of the parish, and for the parish.
It is not a public confession and know that people will be comfortable with who you are.
It is not an emotional cult but the love of Christ will be evident.
It is not a parish clique. However, you will experience a new kind of family.
Who conducts the “weekend?” The weekend experience is presented by a “team’ of participants from the previous Renewal Weekends.
How long will it last? The weekend will begin at 8:30 a.m. Saturday and will end by 3 p.m. Sunday.
Who may participate? Every member of St. Joseph is invited to attend. The parish, of course, consists of all persons residing within the parish boundaries and/or those who are registered on the parish rolls.
Men and women participate on different weekends. You must be at least 18 years old to attend.
What you can expect from CRHP The CRHP weekend offers everyone an opportunity to listen to and perhaps discuss various topics. It is a program that has expanded across states and even across countries. CRHP offers you enriching, real life faith stories that are presented by real life people. The experience is intended to change and/or enhance the lives of those in Christ. Unlike many experiences that seek a temporary spiritual boost, this experience is meant to last a life time. All within the parish are invited and welcome.
