November 6-8, 2026
St. Mary's Abbey Retreat Center

Morristown, NJ 07960

This year's retreat will be somewhat different in format. Deacons and their wives may choose to spend the weekend at the retreat center, as in the past, or they may choose to attend all of the sessions and the meals, but sleep at home and commute to the retreat center.

The retreat is free of charge for all active deacons.

The cost per person for retired deacons staying at the retreat center is $230 per person, payable at the retreat.

The cost for retired deacons who will commute to the retreat, and the cost for any spouses, either staying or commuting, is $60 per person, payable at the retreat.

Please respond by October 15.
