Siblings in Christ,
On behalf of the planning board for the Chico Pastoral Conference I regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel the Conference for this year.
This decision was not made lightly. However, in deference to the health and well-being of any leader in an at-risk category and per the CDC’s guidance that all gatherings of 50 people or more be canceled for the next eight weeks we felt that it was necessary to show love to our neighbor by simply staying home.
We, as a board, will continue to plan for next year’s retreat and will keep you abreast of that planning throughout the year.
Please know that we are working on refunds.
If you paid via PayPal, you should receive a refund to the card charged or your PayPal account. Please note that this refund may not be a 100% refund due to the transaction fees charged by PayPal.
If you paid by check your check will either be voided (if we have it on hand or receive it in the mail on or after March 16, 2020) or a check will be issued to you from Region 1 and mailed to you.
For those of you who have a room reserved at Chico please contact them directly at 406.333.4933 to cancel your room and book a new room for April 6-9, 2021.
Finally, we feel compelled to let you know that Chico Hot Springs is sorry that we will not be present this year. Their staff delights in the light that we bring to the place after Easter, but they understand why we have made the decision to not have this year’s conference.
Again, we regret to inform you of this decision, but feel it is the most prudent at this time.
God be with you all.
Shalom,
The Chico Pastoral Conference Planning Board
