Ordination Announcement!
It is a joy to announce that Deacon Douglas Scott was ordained to the Diaconate on November 18 at All Saints Cathedral in Chicago. His ordination was preceded by reflection, a retreat, and canonical exams the day before. We express our gratitude to Prime Bishop Anthony for participating in the retreat, reflection, and exam, as well as ordaining Deacon Doug. We also thank all clergy who also attended. More will be published soon. We give God Glory for His many blessings!
Advent
It seems like it went by fast, but our Church year is quickly coming to a close. Advent is the beginning of the new Church year and begins on December 3. It is a custom to be emotionally and spiritually prepared for the upcoming Church year. Therefore, it is asked that each Seniorate, cluster of nearby parishes, or parishes which are separated by distance from other parishes to have a retreat, community service, or some form of contemplation during the season of Advent. If you need any suggestions or help, please feel free to contact us!
Diocesan Synod
The Diocesan Council recently met and determined that our Synod next year will be in person, taking place at All Saints Cathedral in Chicago. The dates selected are October 15 & 16, 2024, which Prime Bishop Anthony has agreed to, and will attend. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend if you are able. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Synod Delegates
As you may be planning your parish’s Annual Meeting, please place the election of lay delegates to our diocesan Synod on the agenda. The number to be elected by your parish is determined by your parish’s paid membership as described by the Constitution, By Laws, and Code of Faith of the PNCC. It is also recommended that you elect an alternate, in case a lay delegate is not able to attend. If you choose not to elect lay delegates at the Annual Meeting, then they would need to be elected at a meeting called for the purpose of electing lay delegates. If you need any help calculating the number of lay delegates eligible to be elected, or need any further information, please feel free to contact Fr Sr Charles.
