Province V and VI Women Clergy Retreat
May 31–June 3, 2026
Location: St. Francis Retreat Center, DeWitt, Michigan (near Lansing)
Registration will open early 2026.
Save the date, share the event with others, and watch for more information throughout the summer and fall.
Women's Clergy Retreat: A retreat centered on the experiences of women clergy. We explicitly invite everyone (trans, cis, nonbinary, gender fluid, agender, and more) who feels this is for them to attend.
Cost
$360 - actual cost of the gathering
$260 - subsidized cost of the gathering
This cost includes overnight accommodations, meals at the retreat center, and retreat materials.
To make this gathering as affordable as possible for all, we are offering two pricing tiers for registration. Please choose the rate you are able to pay. If you have the funds to pay the real cost, that helps offset our scholarship and subsidized rates. Additionally, you may donate to the scholarship fund if you are able.
Please don't let registration or travel cost keep you from attending! If you need financial assistance, contact your local parish or your diocese. If they are unable to help, contact Heather or Ellen.
Infants and children
Infants are most welcome with their parent; child care will not be provided. We recognize that this might be a hardship for those with children, and we hope that your communities are able to assist you with needs so that you might attend this event. If you are flying and need physical items (such as a pack n play), please add that to registration details. Local people are ready to assist.
