Once a year, clergy and lay representatives from each parish, monastery and institution meet to discuss the administration of the diocese. The Annual Diocesan Assembly shall elect members of the Diocesan Council, adopt a Diocesan Budget for the following fiscal year for the Diocese, elect an Auditing Committee, and conduct any other business properly brought before the Assembly.
For more regarding the Diocesan Assembly, please see para IV.6 of the Diocesan Bylaws.
Thank you to Archpriest Lawrence Margitich and the faithful at St. Seraphim Cathedral for hosting the Diocese this year. Stay tuned for announcements for next year’s assembly.
This year, all priests who began their ministry in the Diocese of the West from 2018 onward are called by the Archbishop to attend a pre-Assembly session for them with the chancellor and deans on Tuesday, October 24th at 1 pm (no lunch provided) in the Protection Church.
