Offering Hope, Help and Healing On Issues Related To Relationships, Sexuality, and Childbearing
Zechariah House is a sacred retreat and resource center dedicated to healing, renewal, and faith-filled connection. Located in the former St. Mary’s Rectory in Kaukauna, Wisconsin—just minutes from the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion—this peaceful space serves as a spiritual home for pilgrims, individuals, and families seeking rest and restoration.
