Dates: 29 September - 2 October 2026

     Join us in downtown Buffalo for the 16th Annual Conference of the Society of Catholic Priests, hosted at the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral in the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York.
     Our conference theme, “Changed From Glory Into Glory: Awe & Wonder That Forms the Soul,” invites us to reflect on the beauty, mystery, and transformative power of God’s presence in our lives and ministries. In an age often marked by distraction, anxiety, and weariness, we will gather to rediscover the practices, encounters, and holy moments that shape faithful disciples and sustain Christian vocation.
     Keynote speakers Dr. Jared Mercer and Dr. Ben King will guide us in exploring how formation, inspiration, and faithful witness can nurture the next generation of Christian disciples. The week will provide space to  reflect on the wonder of God's work in the Church and the world.
     Throughout our time together, we will pray, learn, worship, and share fellowship as priests and companions in ministry, seeking renewal in our vocations and a deeper awareness of the awe and wonder that form the soul.
     Registration information is available below. Please note that attendees are responsible for making their own lodging arrangements. Information about recommended hotels and accommodations can be found on the SCP website. For those traveling by air, Buffalo Niagara International Airport is conveniently located approximately 11 miles from the cathedral and conference hotels, with Uber and Lyft service readily available.  More information about the conference lodging, keynote speakers, and location is on the Society website, click here.
     We look forward to welcoming you to Buffalo for a week of worship, learning, fellowship, and renewal.
