Every Tuesday night in Lent, the CRC offers Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Confession, and Evening Prayer for all to attend. This is a free event and everyone is welcome.

The CRC is blessed with talented, passionate, and hard workers who each and every day bring their best to the CRC. Odi one of our maintenance guys recently hand-crafted an amazing Sacred Heart Mosaic for the CRC Chapel. Check out the video that shows the work in progress. Amazing what he can do with some clearance tile!

Each year thousands of men, women, and children make a retreat at the CRC and a few hundred of those each year are the men and women that are our pastors and ministers. The CRC is proud to be the spiritual home for our priests, deacons, diaconate candidates, seminarians, and religious men and women each year. Many of these men and women have been coming to the CRC for decades and each time they come back, they make comments about all the improvements and renovations. We like to think the CRC is like your soul, always striving to improve and constantly working on ourselves!

The Fall 2023 Confirmation Retreats hosted at the CRC and put on by Celopas & Company dates have been added to the calendar. These parishes are fully planned 2-night retreats for youth ministers to bring their youth groups. The cost is $159 per person and includes 2-nights lodging, 4 meals, retreat team, supplies, and everything from beginning to end of the retreat! Last Fall retreats sold out, so register your youth group now to reserve your dates.

Not counting donations of cash without donors' names, in 2022 - over 300 people, families, ministries, and Foundations donated to the CRC. The total amount donated/grants was $414,978.52. 100% of these funds are directly invested into the CRC through our renovations. Over the past 3 days, Kim has manually gone through our system to prepare end-of-the-year tax letters. Per IRS guidelines, any donation over $250 needs a tax letter from the organization. If we have your email, these were sent by email. The others were sent out by mail. By sending by email, we saved $91.25, which literally allows us to buy tile and grout for a bathroom and shower at the CRC! If there were any errors, please send Kim an email at kbrown@retreatcentercrc.org. An automatic donor software system would cost around $2,000 annually, and doing it manually costs us 3-days of Kim's labor (aka FREE). We truly strive to be the best steward of the resources entrusted to our care, and we work hard to keep our operations costs low. Thank you for entrusting us with your donations. Donations of less than $250 to a charity do not require a letter from the charity, but if you would like one, please email Kim.
