OCA Announces 2026 Clergy and Clergy Wives Retreats
The Clergy Wives Retreat will be held from July 27–30, 2026, at St. Tikhon's Seminary and Monastery.
WASHINGTON, DC — The Orthodox Church in America (OCA) has announced two dedicated retreats in 2026 to support its clergy and their families.
The Clergy Retreat, set for September 28–October 1, 2026, invites priests and deacons to a restorative gathering focused on prayer, fellowship, and spiritual renewal.
Participants will enjoy unhurried worship, meaningful conversations, and time for personal reflection away from parish demands.
The Clergy Wives Retreat will follow July 27–30, 2026. It will be held at St. Tikhon's Seminary and Monastery.
It will offer matushkas a sacred space to reconnect with joy in Christ through prayer, sisterhood, and shared experiences unique to ministry life.
Organized by the OCA Office of Pastoral Life, both events aim to strengthen pastoral families through rest, inspiration, and community.
