2027 Renewing Your Life with Christ
-
Navigating Life’s Challenges with Trust, Hope, and Faith
-
Ministry Purpose
Renewing Your Life with Christ is designed to help parishioners and visitors of every age group navigate the very real and often overwhelming challenges of everyday life - such as family conflict, loneliness, grief, unexpected change, divorce, retirement transitions, financial stress and the quiet sense of having “lost oneself” along the way.
The series offers a simple, accessible path toward clarity, practicality, and spiritual renewal, rooted in the essential principles of Catholic wisdom and practical life skills. It is a pastoral, practical, hope-driven pathway for ordinary people who are trying to live well again.
This is not group therapy, spiritual direction or catechesis.

Why Now?
Many people carry burdens silently. They want support, guidance, and a way forward, but they do not know where or how to begin. Renewing Your Life with Christ meets people where they are and gently guides them toward hope, meaning and stability. Common themes: • “I feel lost after this divorce.” • “Retirement isn’t what I expected.” • “My financial situation has shaken my confidence.” • “Life has changed, and I don’t know who I am anymore.” • “I don't want to feel like I am now.”
