“I have seen several benefits to having Christ Renews His Parish CRHP at Ave Maria. The first benefit for the participants has been a deepened appreciation of the sacraments...especially in Mass attendance and personally having witnessed powerful moments in the confessional as people return to the practice of their faith. The second benefit has been the lasting friendships that have resulted. Community within the parish is built. The third benefit of CRHP has been the greater level of signing up for, and participation in the ministries of the parish. The fourth benefit has been in the lives touched and transformed by living encounters with Christ. Ministries enhanced, community built up, and faithful participation in the sacraments outwardly demonstrates the fourth point well. It is well worth the efforts to have CRHP in a parish. The benefits are immediate, deep, and long-lasting.”

“I have been involved with Christ Renews His Parish for about three years. In that time, I have seen many of my parishioners go through this process. It has produced wonderful spiritual fruit that then translated to our parish in many different ways. CRHP weekends are a lot of work for everyone involved, but the harvest that comes from it is worth it all.”
Fr. Steve Parlet
“I have participated in CHRP in my first assignment 35 years ago and most recently for the past three years. I have witnessed the lives of men and women change with a renewed spiritual focus. Many have said this was the best thing they have done! I have invested time in the formation period between weekends to spiritual guide the men and women thorough the process. This has deepened our relationship. I have experienced the feeling of a good shepherd in this renewal process.”
Fr. Ken Przybyla
“Christ Renews His Parish is an effective and pastoral way to deepen parishioner’s faith and commitment to the parish. My experience of Christ Renews His Parish over the years has been positive as I have experienced a growth in faith and commitment to their faith by those parishioners who have made the weekend.”
Fr. Don Brownstein
“I agree with Fr. Don. I have seen renewed relationships with couples, a deeper love for Christ which manifests itself in volunteering for the many ministries in the church.”
Fr. John Auer
“I made a CRHP weekend in 1975. The Lord changed my life in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and 37 years later, the Lord is still there in my life and daily prayer. CRHP is a personal and parish renewal process (not program) which has passed the test of time, through both good times and hard times in the church. It started in 1969 and still continues to grow; the most successful years of CRHP are the last ten years. There are some 18,000 parishes in the USA and over 1,250 have used CRHP.”
