…and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Romans 5:5

The year 2025 has been proclaimed a Jubilee Year by Pope Francis, the chief shepherd of the flock.  This will be a Holy Year, and a time of special grace for the church. Following the lead of our shepherd, the theme of our retreats is the same as the theme for this Holy Year, when we are called to be Pilgrims of Hope.

For many, when they hear the word Hope they think of a fond wish. When Christians hear the word Hope we think of a firm promise. As St. Paul proclaims in his letter to the Romans, Hope does not disappoint. Our hope is in the person of Jesus Christ who has laid down his life and conquered sin and death. This hope is poured into our hearts through the gift of the Holy Spirit.

We invite you to come to Christ the King during this time of grace to affirm your belief in the hope that can make sense of a hopeless world.
