Christ Renews His Parish
Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) is an effective spiritual renewal process which calls together the members of the parish in order to experience personal conversion and Christian community in the environment of our own parish. It is a personal rebirth and parish revitalization. There is a renewal weekend for women and for men. For more information please contact Scott Steinke at 777-6433, ext. 115.
RCIA
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a formation process that affords participants the opportunity to grow in their relationship with God. Primarily it is designed to help non-Catholic adults discern whether or not the Lord is calling them to become fully initiated members of the Catholic Church. If they choose to become a Catholic, they will be initiated at the Easter Vigil Mass on April 15, 2006. The process is also helpful for adult Catholics wishing to grow in their own Catholic faith. If interested or if you have questions, please contact Jerry Barney at 777-6433, ext. 121.
Small Faith Sharing Groups
Small faith groups meet periodically in the intimate setting of a parishioner's home. The frequency of meetings is determined by each group. Various resources are used to enable the participants to share their faith journeys with each other. If interested or for further information, please contact Jerry Barney at 777-6433 ext. 121.
Generations of Faith
GOF is a creative approach to parish faith formation. Check back soon for upcoming dates for this liturgical year. For more information please contact Barb Conway at 777-6433.
