DIOCESAN GOVERNANCE

Report from the 232nd Convention (2016)

DIOCESAN CONVENTION

Each year, representatives from around our diocese gather to review and discuss issues, policies and structures. While voting representatives and alternates must pre-register and pay to attend Convention, anyone is welcome to attend as an observer for free. Registered attendees receive packets of information, including the Pre-Convention Journal and meals during the two-day meeting.
