Hope for the Journey

This year, we have a special Hope Harvest planned for Sunday, October 18 from 4 to 7pm.

We will celebrate Mariandale’s 50th year as sacred ground and spiritual home to so many. Hope for the Journey is the theme. This anniversary year, launching on September 8, 2026, will take us on a new journey, where we stop to appreciate the past and those who came before us, and to look forward to the future with hope.

We’ll honor some of our most revered friends who share in our mission and helped to develop the Center over the last 50 years.

You’ll enjoy beer, wine, and mocktails, seasonal fare, live music, raffles, gift baskets, and more! There will be an open bar, a splendid sunset, and a special gathering of our community.

Our Honorees are Don Bisson, FMS; Janet Corso; and Open Arms for Refugees.

Kacey Morabito Grean 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 highly successful 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.
