"Christ Renews His Parish" (or CRHP; pronounced "churp"), is an effective spiritual renewal process which calls together the members of the parish - priests, religious, laity - in order to experience personal conversion and Christain community in the environment of their own parish. It is simplicity of the process, beginning with the "renewal weekend," which invokes personal rebirth in Christ and parish revitalization. CRHP allows one to experience "church" - to experience "being church" - and to experience"being church for others."
Holy Spirit parish hosts four renewal weekends per year, two in the spring
(one men's and one women's) and two in the fall (one men's and one
women's). As part of the process, teams are comprised of Holy Spirit
parishioners who serve as presenters and facilitators of the renewal
weekend. Many say that serving as part of the foramtion team is where
true renewal takes place; in giving the gift to others.
Please accept this invitation to experience the renewal process by attending
the Christ Renews His Parish renewal retreat here at Holy Spirit Church. A
brochure is available at the message center in the Narthex. Also, feel free to
contact Lori Duncan at Holy Spirit Church for further information at 492-

"Just so your light must shine before others, that they may see your good
deeds and glorify your heavenly Father." Matthew 5:16
CRHP is a program designed to bring parish members together in Christ and
emphasizes your continued growth in Catholic Christian life. It initiates this through
small group participation. During a retreat weekend held at the parish, you will
have the opportunity to make new friendships with other members of the Holy
Spirit Parish Community. Please see the Christ Renews His Parish Home Page (Click "Home" on the left side) for current Retreat Weekends. Fellow parishioners will conduct the weekend. but Father is our Spiritual Director.
