Christ Renews His Parish is an experience of Christian community which is designed to allow people to meet Christ in a new way. This is initiated through a weekend retreat where you can expect small group activities and interactions, as well as prayer and reflections shared by fellow parishioners. You will have the opportunity to make new friendships with other members of the St. Michael Community as well as deepen your friendship with Jesus.  

The upcoming Christ Renews His Parish weekends are:

Men - April 27-28, 2024 

Women - April 13-14, 2024

Retreat weekends are conducted by parishioners and are held at St. Michael's facilities. Fr. Brian Schieber or one of our associate pastors is the Spiritual Director of the weekend. You may expect an opportunity, in a relaxed setting, to hear Christ's call to you and to respond to His call to a deeper and closer relationship with God.

All are invited. While this experience is personal and individual experiences vary, there are some common themes that can be seen through past participants words.

"I started the weekend longing for something missing in my life and came out feeling loved with a strong desire for a closer relationship with Jesus."

"Christ Renews His Parish has made me a better husband, a better father, and a better follower of Christ. I can't recommend it enough."

"CRHP has helped me grow closer to God and find community at SMA. I’ve been able to build deeper relationships and see God’s love in action in my own life and in the lives of others."
