Brett's Two-Cents

Hello, everyone! I’d like to share a testimonial from Lynn Heider on her experience attending a women’s Christ Renews His Parish weekend and her invitation to participate in the next one, on January 19-20, 2019.
 

After the holiday rush ends, give yourself the gift of a peaceful weekend with the Lord and with some of the women in your congregation. Attend CRHP and come back to Holy Trinity feeling even more a part of the family, because you’ll get to know many of the people you’re seeing in church every weekend. Unwind in the serenity of the Our Lady of Peace Retreat House in Beaverton.

Spend the weekend sharing the Gospel, attend Mass on site, visit the gift shop, walk the gardens, experience the love of Christ — and build lasting friendships. I attended last year, and it exceeded my expectations. It was transformative and enlightening. I liked the experience so much, I am on the committee helping to plan the next weekend in January.
 
What happens at a CRHP weekend? You’ll hear some inspiring faith journeys, but you’re not required to share your story unless you’d like to. Nobody makes judgements. Everyone cares. You’ll have fellowship time together, and time to yourself in your private, cozy room. Leave the fast pace of your everyday life behind from 8:00am
Saturday morning until 3:00pm on Sunday afternoon, and let the Sisters at the Retreat House cook wonderful meals for you. When you get home, you won’t have to rush to get the family ready for work and school the next day — it’s a holiday!
 
The $157 registration fee covers your overnight stay and all meals, and Holy Trinity generously provides financial assistance if its needed. We hope you can join us! If you have questions, please call (503.358.0773) or email (LynnHeider30@gmail.com) me — I’m happy to help.

You can register and pay online at h-t.org/christ-renews-his-parish, or you can get a registration form at the Information Desk in the narthex and pay in the parish office.
