Stronger Together: Highlights from the 2020 Priest Conference East

Despite a pandemic—perhaps more importantly, because of the spiritual difficulties of this pandemic—we have again hosted our annual Priest Conference East. Thanks to the generous help from donors, from those praying for us, and from those working with us at Oglebay, we were exceedingly happy to host over 100 priests this year. We worked carefully with Oglebay and the state of West Virgina to ensure the safety of all our priests, staying within the guidelines for social distancing and large gatherings. We overcame unforeseen financial challenges thanks to your generous gifts. And thanks to this, we successfully maintained a retreat that is at the very core of our mission to help all Catholics read Scripture from the heart of the Church.

In addition, we also hosted hundreds of priests and lay people alike through a virtual version of the conference.

Here are just a few highlights from this year's Priest Conference East.
