For almost 15 years Dr. Richard Johnson has been facilitating the Encore Priest Pre-retirement workshop. Now, Dr. Johnson has discerned that it is time to step aside and the December 2025 workshop will be his final program with the IPP. Dr. Johnson’s considerable professional experience and profound commitment to the wellbeing of clergy and religious have made the Encore Workshop what it is. Because the Encore Workshop is so intimately connected to Dr. Johnson, I will not be looking to simply find a new facilitator for the same program, but to develop a new workshop very similar to, yet distinct from, what Dr. Johnson has done for us. We are very grateful to Dr. Johnson and his wife, Sandra, for their dedication and commitment to the IPP, and pray God to bless, guide, and sustain them always.
