What happens during the weekend?

The Holy Spirit does an amazing amount of work throughout the weekend. You will likely experience significant spiritual growth throughout the weekend and you will also sense, if not see, others growing as well. The team conducting the weekend gives personal witnesses on the key themes of Christian discipleship that then serve as a focal point for small group discussions throughout the weekend. In addition, there is time devoted to scripture, song, prayer, reconciliation and the Eucharist.

Do I have to speak alone in front of the group?

The only people who speak alone in front of the group are members of the team conducting the weekend. Participants are asked to be engaged in small group discussions that are moderated by table leaders from the conducting team.

Who should attend the weekend?

The weekend is beneficial for anyone who is sensing a call to get closer to God.
Those who have never experienced a CRHP weekend.
Those who have been through CRHP previously and want to refresh their faith.
Those who are not currently very involved in their faith or are not practicing it all.
Non-Catholics, especially spouses of Catholics or those considering joining the Church.
Those who have recently moved to the parish.
Those who have children starting school.
Those who are not very involved in the parish.
Those who wish to know more parishioners.
Those who want to become a better disciple of Christ.

Is there an ongoing commitment?

The short answer is “No,” but there is an opportunity to continue for those who want to do so, but there is no pressure exerted to continue.  The week following the CRHP weekend, the participants and the giving team gather together for an Evening of Discipleship.  This is an evening of prayer, sharing and an explanation of the Formation Process.
