All clergy and MIDs with standing in the Southwest Conference are invited to the 2026 Southwest Conference Clergy Retreat, November 16–18 at the Redemptorist Renewal Center in Tucson.

Ministry cannot thrive without rest—not simply time away, but intentional time to reconnect with God, with one another, and with the quiet places within ourselves that we too often overlook. When we neglect that space, we risk running empty while trying to lead others toward fullness.

Rest is not indulgent. Rest is part of how we honor and sustain the sacred calling we have received.

We invite you to retreat for a time that is not about fixing, producing, performing, or checking things off a list, but simply BEING.

Come for prayer.
Come for laughter.
Come for quiet.
Come for meaningful connection with colleagues.
Come for renewal.
And yes, perhaps even come to sleep in without guilt.

Ask yourself: What might it look like to truly rest in the presence of God, among colleagues who understand the joys and demands of ministry?

Come and see. 

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CLERGY-ONLY RETREAT
