Registration Now Open for 2026 Pastoral Retreat

The Office of Pastoral Life of the Orthodox Church in America has announced registration is now open for its 2026 Pastoral Retreat, to be held September 29 through October 2, 2026, at the University of Saint Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, IL.
This in-person gathering establishes a shared rhythm of prayer, collaborative learning, and meaningful conversation. These rhythms are often difficult to sustain amid the growing pace and activity of parish life today.
Set within a dedicated retreat environment, clergy are invited to slow down, listen carefully, and engage deeply with one another in a way that supports clarity, renewal, and perspective in priestly work.
Full details regarding the program, schedule, speakers, and registration information are available at the Office of Pastoral Life website.
