Returning Student Retreat: July 29-31, 2022

Led by the incomparable Brother James Dowd, OSB, of the Diocese of Nebraska, the retreat for returning students, as well as those on an Anglican Studies or Lay Studies track, will focus on the topic of prayer.  It will include plenty of time for fellowship, worship, meals and a little rest.

We will begin with dinner on Friday evening at 6:00 and end by noon on Sunday. Students are expected to make every effort to attend this retreat, as it is an integral part of your ongoing spiritual and community formation.  Because of the nature of the weekend, there is not a Zoom option available.

If you are a new student at Bishop Kemper School for Ministry on a Diaconal Studies or Presbyteral Studies track, please register here.
