The Parochial Report gives insight into the life, ministry, finances, and membership of the worldwide Episcopal Church. Your parish’s part of this story is essential, and we thank you for investing your time and attention in this work.

Congregations must complete a Parochial Report for their lay delegates to be eligible to vote in the annual Diocesan Convention.
