According to the Diocesan policy Handbook for Priests: “Each priest is required to make a spiritual retreat annually. The Secretary for Clergy Formation is to provide suitable opportunities whereby this obligation may be fulfilled. The retreat may be determined by the individual priest. The cost of the retreat is to be met by the parish or institution to which the priest is assigned in accord with the stated allowance.”
