The CRC Missionary program started in 2021, and our first Missionaries have completed their year of service. As the first year comes to an end, we have hired a 3rd Missionary to join the program, and we asked our Missionary, Anna, about her experience serving at the CRC. "My favorite place at the CRC is the meditation chapel. I love being able to be with Jesus in the peaceful and beautiful simplicity of this sanctuary." Click on this link for her full interview...

The Christian Renewal Center, at the request of the Catholic School's office, began providing retreats for middle school students throughout the Archdiocese. Schools can attend a planned retreat for each grade yearly, or they can run request their own theme and date. After 1-month of school in the Fall 2022 semester, the CRC has already provided retreats for 8 Catholic Schools with more planned every month through May.

Come out and join us for the Knights of Columbus Christmas Market on Saturday, November 26 at the KC Hall in Dickinson and help us carry on the tradition started at the Christian Renewal Center. Proceeds from this market will help with our ongoing support of the Christian Renewal Center, the Shrine of the True Cross Catholic Church, True Cross Catholic School, and the many other charitable activities the Knights of Columbus are involved in.

A major reason for the Chapel renovation was to increase the seating capacity. We removed 2/3 of the chancel area and have now poured concrete, adding about 20% more to the entire interior seating space!!!! Our team took down the walk-around wall around the chancel area and poured concrete there, adding 75 square feet to the altar and making a ramp so someone in a wheelchair or walker could easily gain access.

Building a new Chapel was not a financial option, so we are utilizing the space our current Chapel provides. We have reduced the current Chancel (altar) area to a 1/3 of the size it previously was. Our team has cut and busted out the concrete to prepare to pour a slab. Keep our staff and volunteers in your prayers.
