National Clergy Retreat 2026

🕊️ Time Together. Space to Reflect. A Shared Commitment to Serve with Joy.

The Orthodox Church in America’s clergy serve with faith, love, and perseverance. This retreat is an intentional moment of rest and renewal—not to step away from ministry, but to step more deeply into it with greater clarity and joy.

Hosted in beautiful retreat settings and attended by bishops and fellow clergy, this gathering offers space for reflection, prayer, and meaningful connection.

🙏 What to Expect

• Communal prayer and worship, including Divine Liturgy with our bishops
• Reflections from invited speakers
• Unhurried time for conversation, rest, and fellowship
• A festive banquet celebrating our shared calling
• A peaceful setting that encourages presence and renewal

🎟️ Who Is Invited

Held annually (except AAC years), this retreat is open to all active and retired priests, as well as bishops of the Orthodox Church in America.
