Tecaboca

TECABOCA has been a meaningful part of so many lives for over 85 years. As we prepare for the closure of the ministry, we’re taking time to reflect, say thank you, and honor the impact it’s had.

Thank you for being part of the TECABOCA community. We’re looking forward to celebrating this legacy together on May 4th, 2025.

Don't forget to send your pictures and stories by April 20th, 2025, to be included!

To RSVP: https://forms.gle/JyTWAtxDr7iJ6CHr5

A special farewell event is planned for Sunday, May 4, 2025, to gather in gratitude for all that TECABOCA has offered over the years. More details will be shared soon. In the meantime, we invite you to share your memories and photos—send them to [email protected] or send us a private message by February 25, 2025.

Spring retreat reservations will still be honored, but after May 31, 2025, new bookings will not be accepted. For those with summer camp plans, refunds will be issued.

Let’s continue to hold this place and all who have been a part of it in our hearts and prayers.

“Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright…”

As we begin the Holy Year “Pilgrims of Hope”, we pray together with Pope Francis “that we may bear credible and attractive witness to the faith and love that dwell in our hearts; that our faith may be joyful and our charity enthusiastic; and that each of us may be able to offer a smile, a small gesture of friendship, a kind look, a ready ear, a good deed, in the knowledge that, in the Spirit of Jesus, these can become, for those who receive them, rich seeds of hope.” (Hope does not disappoint, 18)

“May the way we live our lives say to them in so many words: “Hope in the Lord! Hold firm, take heart, and hope in the Lord!” (Ps 27:14). (Hope does not disappoint, 25)

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a day of great significance to the Marianist Sisters, the Daughters of Mary Immaculate. We also remember the founding of the first Marianist Sodality in 1800 and the vows of the first members of the Society of Mary.

On this special day, let us pray:

Creator God, in your gracious providence
You always care for us.
The immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary
is witness to your plan of salvation.
Let the fullness of your grace, which enfolded Mary,
kindle in our hearts the light of hope to all with
whom we come into contact.
Let our lives be lives of praise and service.
Let us be leaders of positive change for our
Church and for the world.
May the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
be glorified in all places
through the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Amen.

Congratulations to all religious on National Vocations Awareness Week! 😇 Shout out to our Marianist Brothers and Priests who serve at our camp and retreats - your witnessing inspires our campers, staff, volunteers, and participants 🙏
