The CRC is committed to doing the right thing, even when it means it cost us money. If you are registered for a CRC event and due to Coronavirus the CRC has to cancel the event we will give you the option to be fully refunded (with CRC paying credit card fees) or be rescheduled to a new date. If your group is to host an event and due to Coronavirus the event needs to be canceled, we will allow you to reschedule later in the year with no additional fee. We also recognize that right now without having your congregation that most Churches, revenue is down. To help you we have reduced the Deposit to 15% for new retreats during this time until Church's income is restored. The CRC will do right by our customers, so don't be afraid to book a retreat with us!
The CRC has lost the retreat revenue of $291,000 during the months of March, April, and May due to retreat cancelations from Coronavirus. We were blessed to receive $107,200 from the Federal Government for the Paycheck Protection Program. This allows us to pay our staff and all utilities for 8-weeks. Our staff is working on the renovations from money raised in 2019 for this purpose. We thank you for your support and ask for your prayers and financial donations to help the CRC. Becoming a monthly donor is the best way to support the CRC and help us count on your monthly gift.
Since March 13, Kim Brown has given a Friday Night Mission for Free on Facebook to help people in quarantine draw closer to God. Every Friday night log on to the CRC Facebook Page at 8PM for a Mission by Kim Brown. It's live so post questions, comments, etc!
Hurricane Harvey flooded the former Oblate Priest house. In September 2018 we began the process of repurposing this building to make it functional and to meet our current needs. To save money, our staff did the majority of the work and we brought in contractors for certain projects. The Ali Center is now a new meeting space (bigger than Marian Hall) with ADA bathrooms and it's own entrance! We have also moved our offices to this new building. Our former offices will be returned to bedrooms to accommodate additional guest. We look forward to showing off our space to you! To support the work at the CRC consider making a donation today.
