OPL Retreats for Clergy & Clergy Wives
A Ministry of the Orthodox Church in America’s Office of Pastoral Life
Time to Step Back. Space to Go Deeper.
Clergy and clergy wives of the Orthodox Church in America serve with deep faith, steady love, and quiet perseverance. These national retreats, offered through the Office of Pastoral Life, are intentional pauses—opportunities to rest, reconnect, and renew the heart of ministry.
Whether attending a clergy retreat or clergy wives retreat, participants are welcomed into a peaceful setting for prayer, honest reflection, and unhurried fellowship. These retreats aren’t a break from ministry—but a way to return to it with fresh clarity, joy, and strength.
