Hope Harvest 2026: Hope for the Journey
October 18 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
This year, we have a special Hope Harvest planned for Sunday, October 18 from 4 to 7pm.
We will celebrate The Center at Mariandale’s 50th year as sacred ground and spiritual home to so many. Hope for the Journey is the theme. In this anniversary year, launching on September 8, 2026, we’ll pause to appreciate the past and honor those who helped to shape the retreat center.
We promise an event full of surprises and celebration. You’ll enjoy a wonderful community in attendance, with long-time and new friends. We’ll have live music by the talented singer-songwriter Madalyn Barbero Jordan, delicious and creative seasonal fare, and an open bar with beer, wine, and mocktails. The raffles and generous gift baskets will be a special highlight.
Our 2026 Honorees are Don Bisson, FMS; Janet Corso; and Open Arms for Refugees.
Kacey Morabito Grean, a longtime friend to Mariandale and a favorite presenter, will be our Master of Ceremonies. Kacey is a former radio professional and host who shared the helm of the Mike & Kacey in the Morning radio show on WHUD for years. Kacey is the Executive Director of the Holy Mountain Retreat Center at Graymoor, and brings popular women’s retreats to Mariandale twice per year. Kacey is also the Founder of the Let it Shine Foundation, which helps women in need and runs a food pantry and thrift store.
