The 2021 ROCOR Western Rite Conference and Retreat took place on October 11th through to the 14th at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church in Mountain Home, Arkansas. It was very successful with an amazing turnout! We even had visitors who hitch-hiked all the way from California to attend!
Services were outstanding with several ordinations and clergy awards issued by Metropolitan Jonah, who attended throughout the Conference.
