Why should I attend a CRHP retreat? This is ONE way of developing a stronger faith and a deeper relationship
with the Lord and with others. CRHP is also a way that we, as parishioners, can build upon the sense of community within our parish.

What about Mass & Confession? An opportunity for Mass and Reconciliation will be provided.
What about food? Meals are provided. Also breaks for coffee, soft drinks, and snacks.
What should I wear? Casual and comfortable clothing. Blue jeans, tennis shoes, and a favorite sweatshirt are just right!
