What an exciting time to be Catholic! In 2025, we have the first American-born Pope in the history of the Church, Pope Leo XIV. Plus, we’re celebrating a Jubilee Year, which happens only every 25 years. As Jubilee 2025 Pilgrims of Hope it is the perfect time to renew our faith. What better way to keep hope flowing than by attending a weekend retreat?
Green Bay Retreat Organization
Anchor of Hope TEC is a retreat organization in the Diocese of Green Bay that started offering National TEC Conference retreats to teenagers in the 1980s. What started with TEC No. 1 is now TEC 285. The initials T, E, C stand for Together Encountering Christ. Anchor of Hope TEC brings a community of believers together to grow in relationship with one another and with Jesus Christ. At Anchor of Hope TEC, we like to say that we throw out the anchor and take up the cross. Each retreat weekend is filled with faith witness, discussion, prayer experiences, the Sacraments, and a lot of fun surprises.
A Jubilee Year Journey with Jesus
You might be thinking that you’re too old to go on an Anchor of Hope TEC retreat. Deacon Nick Williams of St. John the Baptist in Howard brought his dad to a retreat when his dad was 82. I know from my own experience that being around teenagers is fun and energizing. They give me hope for the future of the Catholic Church. You also might be thinking that you’re too busy to go on Anchor of Hope TEC retreat. Well, you know that Jesus was busy, yet he always went away to a deserted place to pray. You won’t believe the freedom you’ll feel when you leave everything behind and spend three days at on retreat. I encourage you to journey to the mountaintop with our Lord by signing up for the Anchor of Hope TEC retreat.
