Christ Renews His Parish, also known as CRHP, is a retreat put on by parishioners (men sponsor a retreat for men and women sponsor a retreat for women) who together come to better understand the extraordinary grace of our Lord.
The CRHP parish renewal process has existed since 1969 and has been used as the primary instrument of personal and parish renewal in over 1,000 parishes nationwide. Over the last 40 years, thousands of women and men have participated in a Christ Renews His Parish renewal weekends at their parish.
"Hello Father, I just heard that St. Catherine's is going to start Christ Renews His Parish. Doing this retreat, serving on the team, and putting on the next retreat was the most transformational experience I've ever had... It took me from being a textbook Catholic Christian to being one in real life... Hearing the talks was both incredibly humbling and enlightening... It was a life-changing experience when I realized early on who was really in the lead and I turned it over to Him... He's been in the lead ever since."
Come prepared to have fun and renew your heart. You will hear other parishioners share real-life examples of how they have found meaning, hope, peace and the love of Christ in their lives.
You'll be free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. You and your needs will always be respected. The talks and discussion are conducted in a very prayerful, scriptural, and sacramental atmosphere. Confession will be offered and the weekend will conclude with Mass.
Anyone over 19 years old is invited and encouraged to attend a weekend. CRHP is for anyone seeking spiritual renewal or wanting to gain a deeper sense of purpose.
CRHP weekends will be held at St. Thomas More Academy (3109 Spring Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27616) with participants staying overnight at the school. A typical weekend begins Saturday morning and ends Sunday afternoon. Men's and women's retreats will be held on separate weekends.
There is not a fee to attend the retreat.
