Clergy/Laity Conference 2009
So that the House of the Lord “May be Filled” (Luke 14-21-23)
Milwaukee, WI — November 5-7, 2009
The highlight of the conference this year was a visit to the new St. Iakovos Retreat Center, located in Brighton, Wisconson.
For many years, the need for a Metropolis retreat center and camp has been a priority of His Eminence Metropolitan Iakovos of Chicago. Now, by and with the consent of the faithful, that need has been met in the purchase of the St. Iakovos Retreat Center. We look forward to the day that our Holy Trinity parish can take advantage of what is now theirs.
Groups and activities that will benefit immediately from the Center and its facilities include:
- Family Synaxis
- Metropolis Council
- Philoptochos
- YAL & GOYA
- Fanari Camp
- Sisterhood of Presvyteres
- Archons
- Youth Ministries
- Clergy Syndesmos
- Social programs (i.e. The Bishop’s Task Force on Aids)
- Cultural / Ethnic Celebrations
