Second year curates gathered at Camp Allen on Thursday and Friday, March 5 and 6, for their final session of the Curate Cohort, the Diocese of Texas’ post ordination formation program for newly ordained priests.
Since June 2024, the group has met 13 times for peer support, continued learning, and connection with experienced clergy and lay leaders from across the diocese. The program is overseen by Bishop Ryan and supported by mentors: Eileen O’Brien and James Pevehouse.
