RE:
REPORTS FOR THE 2006 DIOCESAN ASSEMBLY
Reports for the
2006 Diocesan
Assembly are due
in the Office of the Treasurer
by AUGUST 30, 2006.
The preferred methods of delivery are e-mail
and fax.
All reports will be compiled into a Delegate Report
Book that will be posted on this
website in September.
The Diocese has
learned that parishioners want to know what is happening around the
Diocese and to feel a part of the larger Orthodox community.
Please regard these reports you will prepare as a way of building
the Body of Christ in the Diocese of the West.
Nothing burdensome is expected of you; please take the time to
genuinely communicate with your fellow Orthodox.
Department
reports should include goals for the past year, what was done to
reach those goals, and what next year’s goals will be.
Diocesan
institution reports should
detail their main objectives, how they support themselves, a summary of
services provided and populations served, and their top three sources of
income. They should include a summary
financial statement for August 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006.
Reports from
monastic institutions will be grouped together. Each
should include a census, brief summary of activities since the 2005
Assembly, projects and goals for the coming year and a summary financial
report for August 1, 2005, to July 31, 2006.
Deanery
reports should contain a brief overview of the state of the
Deanery as whole, Deanery activities for the past year, concerns the
Assembly and its leadership should know about and comments.
Individual
parishes should report their information on the 2-page
MSWord form available on this website. Please

it back to Mary Caetta.
