Diocesan Convention Youth Delegate Applications Open

The Constitutions and Canons (Church Law) of The Diocese of West Missouri provide for the election of one youth delegate and one alternate from each of the Diocese’s three Deaneries (NW Metro, Central, and Southern.) These delegates are full voting members of the Convention, elected by their fellow youth, who serve as the voice of the young people of our diocese in our deliberations.

 

To be elected as a delegate youth must meet the following criteria: 


1. You must be between the ages of 16-19 at the time of Diocesan Convention and an active member of your home parish. 

2. Have been a “worshiper” in your congregation for at least 6 months. 

3. Be able to attend Diocesan Convention (Nov. 8-9 at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, Kansas City.)

4. Be able to attend at least two deanery meetings prior to Diocesan Convention.


This is a great opportunity to lend your voice to our deliberations as a diocesan family, represent the youth of the diocese, and participate in the election of our IX Bishop. If you have any questions, please contact Fr. David.



Those interested are encouraged to apply now! The application period has been extended and applications are now due on Friday, April 12th by 6 p.m.
