Annual Reports

The four annual reports due from each parish are linked below with their due dates. As we began in 2023, Diocesan Council has again set aside $2,500 to be awarded to ONE congregation who has completed all four of these reports, PLUS the one extra, by their due dates. Shortly after March 2nd, qualifying congregations will be entered into a drawing to be awarded $2,500. Be sure to get your reports in on time. Any parish can be a winner!
