Convocation Theme: Proclaiming Christ: Yesterday, Today, and Forever
This year marks something special – the 150th Anniversary of our Diocese and our very first Priest Convocation.
For the first time, our priests will step away from the demands of parish life to gather for prayer, reflection, rest, and fraternity. It’s a dedicated time to be renewed – spiritually, emotionally, and physically – so they can return to their parishes— happy, holy, andhealthy.
Your generosity helps make this moment possible. Your gift creates the space for rest. Your support provides them with renewal. Your care encourages those who care for you.
If you’d like to help offset the cost for your priest—or any priest—please use the form on this page.
You’re also invited to share a note of encouragement or gratitude. These messages will be delivered during Convocation, offering a powerful reminder that they are supported and appreciated.
Be part of this first Convocation—and help make it a meaningful experience for our priests.
