The 206th Convention of the Diocese of Maine
Pre convention Meeting Registration
Prepare for Diocesan Convention by attending one of two pre convention meetings to be held on Zoom in October. Although anyone may attend, delegates and clergy are expected to attend just one of these meetings. This will be an opportunity to discuss the proposed budget, resolutions and convention procedures as well as vote for your Area lay representative to Diocesan Council. The same information and opportunity to vote will be presented at each meeting.
If you don’t know which Diocesan Area you belong to, please look that information up here and have it ready when you register.
If you were unable to attend the Oct. 14 meeting, you may watch the recording here, and read a summary here.
