About CEW
The Christian Experience Weeekend (CEW), is an adult renewal weekend for persons 18 years of age or older. CEW is intended for anyone looking to live life more fully as an adult Christian. CEW grew out of the realization that the Christian Life has to be experienced before it can be properly appreciated.
The community based weekend includes talks, discussion, prayer services, and Mass. A team of lay people, priests and sisters conduct the weekend.
We have limited openings, so turn in your registration early. This can be done electronically or by mail. When the weekend is full, additional registrants are put on a witing list and notified if there is a cancellation.
The cost of the weekend is $50.00. Please do not allow the cost of the weekend prevent you from attending.
For more information check out the Registration tab.
What have those who attended thought about CEW?
I was very hesitant about going to my first CEW. I struggled with my faith most of my life and just went through the motions. I never really had a relationship with Jesus but never felt any need to do any more than I was. I was fine. Things changed several years ago and since then, I’ve grown greatly in my faith life and have had a developing relationship with Jesus that makes me joyful. I lead a group of men in a small group at my parish now but I ’m always trying to do more to take steps in my personal faith journey. I felt I was in a good position in my faith so I decided to go not for myself, but I went so I could experience it and encourage others to go in the future. I am so happy I made the right decision to attend! I gained more than I anticipated. I developed a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. It was heartwarming to be around faith filled men not shy to talk about their faith and personal struggles. It was enjoyable to watch men who were in the early stages of their journey open up and grow as the weekend progressed. I was so moved by the support of the CEW family. It felt so nice to know there are others out there who love Jesus and who are striving to improve themselves while inspiring others. I strongly encourage you to give yourself the opportunity to grow in the most important area of your life and take that next step on your own personal faith journey. -

"As a new member to CEW, I sat in the parking lot asking myself what was I doing? Since then I have attended 2 more CEW weekends. I always thought I knew God. By the end of the weekend I learned that God loved me! I felt his everlasting love for me. You see, we are all sinners, not perfect and very hu -man. I will never forget this feeling. You will make friends by the end of the weekend. CEW is more than a weekend. I now find God ’s love in everything I do. I hope you take the first step to make a CEW, for you.
