On July 17, members of the diocese joined Bishop Paula Clark and Pat Cornelius-Woods, Diocesan Finance Committee co-chair, on Zoom for “Sustaining Our Mission: Understanding Our Diocesan Budget Process & Priorities.”

The budget education event was billed as “part one” of a larger budget education process intended to provide greater transparency and understanding about the 2026 diocesan budget process, budget priorities, historic trends, and financial realities.
