The CRHP Mission and Invitation
Cross at sunset

We invite the Men and Women of St. Margaret Mary Parish, who are seeking a difference in their lives, for a weekend of renewal. We will enjoy each other's fellowship, explore the Gospel and how it impacts our lives, and pray for grace. With renewed grace, we hope to impact our families and communities in a meaningful way. This is how Christ renews his parish. Separate retreats are held for men and for women.

What is a CRHP Retreat?

It is a time to relax, pray, and rethink priorities.  It is a time to get to know others in the parish and grow as a community.  It is an opportunity to examine, rediscover, and/or intensify your personal relationship with Christ.  It is a weekend of reflection and sharing of spiritual and real life issues.

What a CRHP Retreat Is not

It is not a silent retreat, yet there are periods of quiet reflection and prayer. It is not a parish organization or clique. It is not a solitary retreat, your participation makes the retreat a spiritual one for you and the other participants. You will not be required to speak in front of the group, however, your participation in the group discussions is a key to the retreat.  

What happens during the retreat?

The retreat formats involve short talks given by the previous CRHP team. You will be in small groups to reflect upon those talks and how they may be relevant to you life and your spiritual growth. Some examples of the talks that will be given are Father's Loving Care, Scripture, Spirituality, and Christian Awareness.
