2025 Clergy Conference

May 13 – May 15
Our conference this spring will be hosted by The Bishop’s Ranch which is located in Healdsburg. Our time will include an opportunity to have quiet time for prayer and time together as a group. We encourage you to take the full three days away from your duties.

We value this time together. All canonically resident clergy and clergy who are serving in parochial positions in the diocese are expected to attend, so we may deepen and enrich our relationships. For this same reason, non-canonically resident clergy who are non-parochial, retired or engaged in other ministries in this diocese are also invited.

If you are unable to attend or have questions, please email Jacqi Seppi.

Registration Deadline: April 25, 2025
