"CHRIST RENEWS HIS PARISH"...
is a process designed to bring members of our parish together in Christ.... it is a renewal weekend, where you can experience a personal spiritual renewal and an abundance of love in Christian community. Parishioners share with one another the ways they have found meaning, hope, peace and love in their lives. The experience is personal, inspirational, and fulfilling. Many participants feel that the weekend experience has been among the most powerful and positive of their lives.  

   This is the perfect way to establish a stronger bond with God and fellow parishioners. The atmosphere is casual and you will begin friendships that will last a lifetime. There are two sessions, one for men and the other for women. The two weekends are not mixed sessions and allow for a husband and wife to attend on the different weekends and still attend to family needs.

     To date, 282 St. John’s parishioners have received this CRHP weekend.  Many of them have shared how more connected they feel to the parish and what a wonderful opportunity it is to get to know their fellow parishioners. The weekend is held here at St. John’s and is led by parishioners who have made CRHP here before.                                MORE INFORMATION ABOUT CRHP - VIEW OUR VIDEO
