This is something for all priests, especially in the USA. Lay people should also take note of this.

IS YOUR PASTOR OR PAROCHIAL VICAR CELEBRATING HIS ANNIVERSARY OF ORDINATION? YOUR PERMANENT DEACON? A NEW ORDINATION OF A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER? HOW ABOUT GIVING THEM A GIFT THAT REALLY MATTERS? [I would be happy to attend, btw.]
Consider the gift of a Confraternity of Catholic Clergy annual convocation ($450) or provide him with transportation to the event. We can also use donations for scholarships to help those clergy (priests, deacons and seminarians) who cannot afford to come due to financial
difficulties.ONGOING spiritual, theological and pastoral formation of the clergy is not an option nor luxury; it is a NECESSITY. The CCC provides this ongoing formation in a fraternal setting with our ordained brethren who unequivocally proclaim loyalty and obedience to the Magisterium and the Roman Pontiff. URGE your clergy to ‘come and see’ (membership not a requirement to attend convocation)
Oh, how I would love to attend! My schedule is still in flux, sadly, for those dates. But I will definitely keep an eye out for all this.
Is the event title really “… in AeternAM” rather than AeternUM?
Color me nonplussed.
I just tried contacting them at their email: catholic-clergy@gmail.com
Gmail reports an error, that this particular user does not exist. I could not find contact for that retreat at the Strich Retreat website.
I would love to send my parochial vicar to this since he is currently in his Silver Jubilee. I tried looking for the conference information on their website, but, there was no contact information. Even the retreat house had nothing on its webpage about the conference.

Try this link for contact information for the Cardinal Stritch Retreat House. The page says you can use the provided contact info to “sign up for a scheduled retreat.” If the convocation is being held there, surely the deacon listed should know about it.
I will see if my pastor is interested and if he is, if we can’t find donors to send him in return for telling us all about it over dinner.
