Mark you calendars to meet and greet the bishop candidates! This is an important and exciting time in the life of our diocese as our clergy and lay delegates seek to elect our next pastoral leader.

Everyone's voice matters! Get to know our Bishop Candidates and share your feedback with your delegates.

Mark your calendars for one of eleven Meet and Greets with our Bishop Candidates during the week of Sept. 21-25. Our Bishop Transition Committee has worked hard to make these holy conversations accessible to everyone in our diocese.
