Men’s and Women’s Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP)
"Christ Renews His Parish" is an effective spiritual renewal process, which calls people together in order to experience personal conversion and Christian community in the environment of their own congregation. The men's retreat is in the spring and the women's retreat is in the fall.
The secret of the "what" is its simplicity. The program is based on the basic Christian principles of evangelization, reconciliation, initiation, formation, community, and personal vocation. What makes "CHRP" different from some other "renewal" programs is that those who participate in a weekend continue to meet and grow as a spiritual community and eventually share what they have experienced with others. As the program manual states: "However sincere and deep our initial commitment to our faith, it requires by its very nature, continuous renewal and deepening. It must be a moment-to-moment process of saying, "yes" to God."
"CRHP" is a response to the need that every follower of Christ has to experience "church" and to experience "being church" and finally, to experience "being church for others". What's the best way to learn about "CRHP"? Experience it.
