Based on a resolution at the 2024 Diocesan Convention, a committee was formed to look at the "Sacred Ask" - which is the financial obligation churches have to support the diocese. This committee is seeking to better understand the impact of the Sacred Ask on churches, and their capacity to bear the costs. They will make recommendations to at the 2025 Diocesan Convention (October 17-18, 2025).
In support of the committee's work, Gloria Dei will be hosting a conversation on June 11, 2025, at 7pm, in Riverside Hall. This conversation will be open to other local churches, and will provide an opportunity for discussion between churches and committee members. All are welcome to attend and learn more about the finances of the diocese. The attached documents will help to provide some context.
