Welcome to the CRYS Web site
2010 marks 17 years that CRYS has been serving young, Catholic singles in the Valley of the Sun. We are blessed to be able to offer you many opportunities to continue to grow in your faith, and to meet new Catholics in the Phoenix diocese (and beyond). From hosting the first CRYS retreat in 1993, the CRYS community has grown tremendously over the past 15 years, continuing its mission of serving single young adult Catholics.
What is CRYS?
Since our founding in 1993 by Father Alberto Ruiz, CMF, the CRYS ministry has focused on providing sacramental and devotional centered spiritual retreats for single adults ages 21-40.
CRYS provides an opportunity for singles to receive support, education and a community in which to share and grow in our Catholic faith.
