"CRYS provides an opportunity for singles to receive support, education and a community in which to share and grow in our Catholic faith." - CRYS
Catholic Retreats for Young Singles (CRYS) is a very special organization to me. It is certainly special because it is where I would eventally meet my bride, but more significantly it gave me a home to live out my faith when parish life, focused mainly on family, could not fulfill that transitional time in my life. CRYS was founded in 1993 right here in the Dioceses of Phoenix. If you would like more information on this ministry either for yourself or someone you know; please visit the CRYS website or contact Jason Robinson.
