Call to Diocesan Convention 2026

November 13 and 14

Riverside Convention Center

Please contact the Parish office by Monday, October 19 or connect with Canon Gaines this Sunday if you are a pledging member and interested in representing St. John's at convention this year.

This will be the first Diocesan Convention presided over by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Antonio José Gallardo Lucena, VIII Bishop of Los Angeles who was elected at the 2025 Convention and consecrated earlier this year.

The theme of this year’s Convention draws from the theme of Bishop Gallardo’s episcopacy: Living in Love & Truth | Viviendo en Amor y Verdad. “In a diocese as large, diverse, multilingual, multicultural, and politically varied as the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, Ephesians 4:15 is not just a slogan; it is a way of exercising episcopal ministry.
