Pilgrims of Hope ~ Men’s Retreat

Pilgrims of Hope ~ Men’s Retreat ~ April 10-12, 2026

Holy Family Retreat Team

Faith is a journey! We can never know exactly where it will take us, but we are intentional about the trek, and we have hope that it will lead us to something good.

Last year, just months before his passing, Pope Francis called for a jubilee year, and he announced the theme would be “Pilgrims of Hope.” The Holy Father stated: “Faith is a pilgrimage, and we on this Earth are pilgrims, not tourists or wanderers: we are pilgrims!”

During our weekend retreat, we will explore the many dimensions of hope, which is a theological virtue given to us as a gift from God. While hope can be difficult to explain, we know when we have it, and we never want to lose it! We will explore hope in the context of a journey – a sacred pilgrimage with God. 

We invite you to join us this year at Holy Family as we celebrate our 75th Anniversary of retreat ministry. Together, as part of God’s beloved creation, we can find that blessed goal, life with God as beloved companions and pilgrims of hope.

Each of our themed retreats begins with a buffet dinner from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday evening and concludes Sunday with the celebration of Mass at 10:45 a.m. followed by a hot brunch at noon. Families of retreatents are most welcome to attend the Sunday Mass and brunch at no extra charge.
