Council Workshop Information:
Tuesday, February 23, 2021 at 7:00 pm - New Council Member Orientation Workshop Webinar - Spanish
*Note: There is no Constitutions and Canons Workshop this year since the committee is not presenting anything to the Council for consideration. In order to allow for a full debate, the Executive Board has elected to postpone the presentation for a second reading of its proposed amendment to Article 2, Section 2.5, which relates to a Parish or Mission covering the costs of its lay delegates to attend Council, until the 173rd Council in 2022.
Links to the webinars will be published closer to the workshops.
All Workshops will be recorded and posted to the Diocesan Council website the following day.
