Welcome ministry (Christ renews his parish 2.0)
Welcome Retreats (formerly known as Christ Renews His Parish retreats) have been an integral part of parish life at Sts. Peter and Paul for many years. It has been a great way to explore, reflect, listen, and re-ignite the gift of faith working in our parish. As times have changed, so have we. We are still full of faith and yearning to grow deeper in our faith, but our new name is Welcome Ministry.
Why Welcome? We believe that Welcome is the first step in helping people make sense of life.
Changing Lives. Transforming Parishes.
Most of the people you see every day feel like something is missing in their lives. Welcome is an incredible experience that helps them discover what that something is—and what to do about it. It’s run by parishioners for parishioners, and it’s re-energizing parishes across the country.
Welcome retreats are for the parishioners of Sts. Peter & Paul and are held twice a year: during Lent and in the Fall.
All retreats are held on the Sts. Peter & Paul campus.
Come and learn how the Holy Spirit has inflamed the hearts of your fellow parishioners and how your faith in the Loving Lord can be strengthened and renewed as well!
