Clergy Retreat 2025 Deepens Spiritual Renewal and Unity

  • Posted on: 17 October 2025

The Syro-Malankara Catholic Eparchy of the United States and Canada held its annual clergy retreat from October 13–17, 2025, at Jericho House, located at 10845 Rathfon Road, Port Colborne, Ontario, L3K 5V4. The retreat was preached by Rev. Fr. Roni George VC, whose spiritual leadership enriched the gathering with profound insights and moments of grace.

The Eparchial Bishop, His Excellency Most Rev. Dr. Philipos Mar Stephanos, along with the 15 priests of the Eparchy, participated in five days of prayer, reflection, and fraternal fellowship. The retreat offered a sacred space for clergy to renew their spiritual strength and deepen their commitment to pastoral ministry.

In addition to the spiritual exercises, the Presbyteral Council meeting was held, fostering collaborative dialogue and pastoral planning. This convergence of prayer and discernment strengthened the bonds of unity and purpose among the clergy, reaffirming their shared mission in service to the Church.

Let us continue to pray for our Bishop & Priests as they carry forward the fruits of this retreat into their ministry.
