Under the leadership of His Grace Bishop NICHOLAS, the Diocese of Miami and the Southeast held its Clergy & Winter Retreats.

The clergy and faithful of DOMSE traveled to Atlanta for our annual Clergy and Winter Retreat during January 28- 31, 2026. Unlike past winter retreats, this one really brought the “Winter!” Despite the cold and snow, many of our clergy and faithful gathered at St. Elias Church in Atlanta, GA.
Our time at the retreat was enriched with the presence of His Grace, Bishop NICHOLAS for his first Diocesan event since early 2025. His Grace shared his appreciation for the prayers and support during three major health complications. By God’s miraculous hand His Grace is improving each day and asks that we continue to keep him in prayer on this road to full recovery.

The 2025 DOMSE Fall Retreat took place on September 19-20, 2025, hosted by St. Ignatius Orthodox Church of Franklin, TN. A healthy portion of hospitality was served up, and God blessed the time with wonderful weather. Those attending experienced no lack of enjoyment from the fellowship and teaching sessions.

Friday morning began with prayers and greetings by host pastor Fr. Philip Begley. He related His Grace Bishop NICHOLAS’ regret at not being able to attend this year, His Grace giving us an example of obedience by following his doctor’s instructions to focus on recovery from his earlier surgery.
