… but first, some history.

In 2014, it was approved by the Diocesan Secretariat Board to allow the Miles City Vicariate to try a condensed “Step II” weekend schedule using a similar format, starting late afternoon on a Friday and ending on Sunday afternoon, instead of the usual format of beginning on Thursday evening. In October, 2014, the first condensed version was held and met with huge success. The name was changed to “Cum Christo Renewal.”

Step II originated in the Western Diocese of Montana as a program for “4th Dayers” (those having attended a Journey, Cum Christo or Cursillo weekend). After determining a need for renewal within the Cum Christo movement of the Great Falls-Billings Diocese in Eastern Montana. Step II began to be held in our diocese. The intent and purpose of Step II is to strengthen the faith of 4th dayers and to support, nurture and renew in them, through the Holy Spirit, their desire to continue the work as laity in the Catholic Church.

The format is similar to Cum Christo, and “Building up the Body of Christ” is the central theme. The weekend is for both men and women; it includes a series of inspiring talks, along with the opportunity for Reconciliation, Mass, group discussion, reflections, meditations, music, fellowship and prayer services are integrated throughout the weekend, as well as, the opportunity to receive individual Spiritual Direction and or guidance. The prayer is that one leaves this experience empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the mission to evangelize the Catholic Church.

Now, the latest information:

The next Cum Christo Renewal Weekend is October 20-22, 2917, in Glendive, MT. The theme is “Put on the Armor of God”. The intent is to provide an enriching spiritual renewal experience, enabling you to be fully armed to continue on your 4th day journey, as well as, to grow in our efforts to bring Christ to the world and the world to Christ.
