2026 Clergy Retreat

Dear Clergy of the Diocese of Cascadia,

I look forward to our time together at this year’s clergy retreat, January 26-29, 2026, at Mount Angel Abbey.

Our special guest will be Bishop Jay Cayangyang, the newly appointed bishop of the ACNA’s Special Jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy.

It is important that we have this time together when we can be away from distractions, and fellowship with each other, encourage one another in our ministries, and come before the Lord in prayer together. For this reason, your attendance for all active clergy is mandatory. If unable to attend, please ask me for special permission.

• Cost this year is $550 per person.

• Registration deadline is December 20.

I urge you to enlist your congregations in sharing this cost as part of their responsibility for clergy care.

Please arrive to Mount Angel Abbey by 3 pm on January 26.

A schedule with more details can be found on the diocesan website, linked below. Registration is now open.

May you sense the Lord and hear His voice ever more clearly as we draw near to Advent.

Bishop Jake
