This year, the Deacons’ Conference and Retreat will be held online via Zoom. The Mid-Hudson Deacons are planning the Conference/Retreat for Saturday, October 17 from 9:00 a.m. to Noon. Our retreat leader will be the Rev. Masud Ibn Syedullah, TSSF, who will present two or three meditations separated by a short time for private reflection. The day will also include time for a discussion with Bishop Dietsche.

Father Syedullah is a member of our diocese and a sought after presenter who has given retreats to deacons throughout the country. He is the director of Roots & Branches which “exists to provide guidance to those who seek ways to be more firmly rooted in The Source, that they may be more fully themselves and offer life-giving service to others.”
