Hope Does Not Disappoint: Retreat Day at St. Lawrence Church

The Knights of Columbus and Columbiettes at St. Lawrence Church in Killingworth invite all to a special day of prayer, reflection and fellowship on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The retreat theme, “Hope Does Not Disappoint,” comes from St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans: “Hope does not disappoint” (Romans 5:5).

Throughout salvation history, even in the darkest of times, God has remained faithful to His people. He never leaves us lost or alone. Yet we are called to continue walking in faith, living in love and trusting in God’s promises with hope.

During this retreat day, participants will reflect and pray about how faith, hope and love — strengthened by God’s loving grace — can sustain us through life’s difficulties and remind us that God is always at work, even when the way forward is uncertain.
