Western Conference of Priests

The Western Conference of Priests was in 1967 in an attempt to "unite priests, diocesan and religious, to pursue in any useful way their spiritual, intellectual, and social advancement." Membership was open to all priests, diocesan and religious of both the Latin and Eastern Rite who lived in Manitoba, Saskatechwan, Alberta, British Columbia, the North West Territories and the Yukon.

The board of directors consisted of elected representatives of each ecclesiastical entity who had at least 10 paid members. Entities with more than 50 members were entitled to 2 representatives on the board.

The Western Conference of Priests organized an annual assembly which provided an opportunity for priests to gather and discuss a variety of topics of interest.

It appears that the organization was short-lived and by the mid-1970s no longer existed.
