The purpose of the information sessions is to prepare for Diocesan Convention, both as to substance of matters to come before convention and for preliminary discussion and understanding. All deputies should bring the preconvention materials to the meeting. These materials will be available to download prior to the meetings from the website at www.episcopalpgh.org/2014-diocesan-convention/.
Be reminded that in order for lay deputies to be seated at convention, each parish needs to have filed a parochial report for 2013, completed a parish audit for 2013, and be current in their assessment payments to the diocese.
