Canonical Orthodox Western Rites Conference - Official announcement and registration
The Antiochian Western Rite Clergy will be invited to be with the ROCOR-WR clergy in this historic event which we pray will be the first of many. There will also be a gathering of Benedictines and possibly their Oblates at the same time.
The conference is open to clergy and laity.

Precisions regarding the October 2011 Western Rite conference
The primary attendees at the Conference would be WR Clergy (ROCOR [Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia] and AWRV [Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate]); some will have their wives with them. Monastics and oblates are urged to come as well. Secondarily would be clergy who are seeking to enter the WR of Orthodoxy. But it is open, as space permits, for others who would have an interest and would be in a position to make positive contributions. The site we will be using this year can accommodate about 60 people and is not that large. Future Conferences, which by agreement will be held jointly with the AWRV, would probably be larger and if the setting were near a large parish might have an open session which would draw a broad local participation. That was the case at the AWRV Conference at St. Peter’s at Fort Worth a few years ago. Essentially the Conference will be first come first served but prioritized for clergy. There will be an official announcement soon that would provide precise details and contact information.
