In addition, hard copies of the Agenda, the Proposed 2025 Budget, together with minutes from our 2024 General Assemblies will be available for review by parishioners in good standing at the Church Office during the week (by appointment) and on Sundays after Divine Liturgy for at least 7 days prior to January 26, 2025. In addition, any other documentation/reports circulated during the January 26th meeting by the committees/ministries presenting will later be made available in the Church Office.

We will need a quorum of 35 members in good standing to be present in order for us to conduct the business of our parish.Kindly avail yourselves of this opportunity to stay informed about our community and, on behalf of the members of our Assumption Church Parish Council, please accept our thanks in advance for your cooperation and participation on January 26, 2025.
