Pilgrims of Hope Retreat

Hope Ignited: Embracing a Life of Faith, Trust, and Joy

Weekend, February 21-23, 2025

Step away from the noise of daily life and join us for a transformative retreat designed for college students and young professional women. Inspired by the Jubilee Year of Hope proclaimed by Pope Francis, this retreat invites you to embrace your spiritual journey as Pilgrims of Hope.

Through guided meditations, engaging talks, and moments of prayerful reflection, we will explore how hope anchors our hearts amidst life’s uncertainties, renews our faith, and empowers us to radiate joy in our relationships, studies, and work.

  • Embracing the Vision of Hope

    It all begins with hope. You might be seeking clarity in life, rediscovering your faith, or longing to connect with God’s promises. Whatever it is, embracing the vision of hope will guide you toward the purpose you were made for.

  • Walking the Path of Trust and Faith

    It all comes alive in action. Perhaps you’re facing challenges in faith, striving to anchor your life in Christ, or searching for peace in uncertainty. Whatever it is, trusting in God will empower you to walk in hope each day.

  • Spreading Hope to Others

    It all blossoms in community. You might want to inspire others, share the light of Christ in your work, or bring joy to those around you. Whatever it is, sharing hope transforms the world and brings love to life.
