What is Convention?
Diocesan Convention 2024
November 8-9, 2024 | sT. Margaret’s, Palm Desert
Established in 1974, Diocesan Convention is the annual business meeting of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego and acts as the primary legislative body of the Diocese. It’s a time when clergy and laypeople from all over the diocese come together to vote on an annual budget, to elect officers, and to hear reports of work from diocesan programs. But more importantly, we join together, worship together, learn together, and discern together--reflecting on becoming a better people of God.
Where is Convention being held?
St. Margaret’s, Palm Desert
