Threshold is a fresh focus on leadership for priests who are new to the diocese, and resident clergy who are transitioning into new leadership roles in one of our parishes.
Participants are invited to attend eight sessions that run on a rotating basis throughout the course of one year covering a wide range of topics to prepare you well to step into your new roles with confidence and care.
In our sessions, we will cover: Trust Development, Communication and Conflict Resolution, Culture Building and Vision Casting, Church Finances and Property Stewardship, Who to Call on the Diocesan Staff, Worship & Liturgy, Collegial Relationships, and Health and Wellness. To graduate from the program, participants are asked to attend each of these eight sessions once.

Chrism Mass and Renewal of Ordination Vows
2026-03-31 11:00 - 14:00 | Procter Center, 11235 St. Rt. 38 SE, London, OH, 43140, United States
Bishop White invites the clergy of the Diocese of Southern Ohio to gather together on the Tuesday of Holy Week for our annual Eucharist, renewing ordination vows together and blessing the chrism oil used throughout the diocese in the next year.
The Chrism Mass highlights the ministry we share together; a bishop’s ministry is extended symbolically by the chrism oil that will be used in baptism in each faith community of our diocese over the next year. In praying together the renewal of our vows, we’re reminded of the commitments made to God and God’s Beloved Community at the time of ordination.
Clergy are invited to vest for the service wearing choir dress (black cassock and white surplice) with white stoles. A group photo will be taken afterward.
10:00 am Optional fellowship time
