Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP)

Christ Renews His Parish is a spiritual renewal process that has helped thousands of men and women deepen their faith and their connection to the Church.

Who is this for?  Any parishioner can participate, but it’s especially helpful if you feel like your faith life has been on autopilot or needs renewal.  You may have sensed a nudge from God that it’s time to take the next step in spiritual growth.  It’s also a great way to feel more at home in the parish because you get to know many fellow parishioners through Christ Renews His Parish.

What happens on the weekends?  There are a wide variety of spiritual activities on the weekend such as presentations from team members, discussions, reflection time, celebration of sacraments and more.  It’s also a lot of fun!

When and where does the weekend take place?  The Men’s weekend takes place once a year in the spring.  The Women's weekends take place once in the spring and once in the fall.  The weekend begins at 8:00 AM, Saturday and concludes on Sunday at 3:30 PM.

What about meals?   You won’t go hungry!  We provide all the meals and snacks.  If you have any dietary needs, you can note that on the registration form.

What should I wear?  We recommend casual, comfortable clothing; the weekend will be very relaxed.

What about accommodations?  Accommodations are in St. Mary's lower level.  Comfortable mattresses are provided.  You are asked to bring your own sleeping bag, pillow, towel and toiletries.  Staying overnight is the ideal way to receive the full benefits of this spiritual weekend, but if you must go home at night, that will also be accommodated.

How can I sign up for the weekend?  Fill out the form and mail it to CRHP, St. Mary Church, 10307 Dundee Rd., Huntley, IL  60142, or drop it off in the box marked “CRHP” across from the restrooms in the east hallway of the church.
