 Christ Renews His Parish

Fr. Kevin McCarthy

     I am very excited to announce that our community will be sponsoring two Christ Renews His Parish retreats one each for the men and women of our community. God planted the seed over five years ago and now, under the guidance of the Spirituality Commission, our two weekend retreats are scheduled. I am very excited about this opportunity. 

What is Christ Renews His Parish?

Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP, pronounced "Chirp") is a spiritual renewal weekend designed to help individuals grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and with others in their faith community. It is an excellent opportunity for Catholics to renew their understanding of the basic beliefs and traditions of their faith.

CRHP is a process designed to bring members of a parish together in Christ. Just as all of our other commitments need renewal, so does our commitment to Christ if we're to be faithful followers. CRHP is an effective spiritual renewal that calls together members of the parish to experience personal conversion and Christian community within the environment of St. Teresa of Avila.

Men’s Weekend is February 25-26, 2012

Women’s Weekend is March 17-18, 2012
