Last Chance to Register - Deadline Oct. 17
Join us for the Diocesan Summit:
Maximizing Mission with Parish Property on Oct. 20
Thank you for your feedback....we decided to shorten the day and focus our agenda. Our program will now run from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. We hope you can join us for some shared learning and inspiration.
Virginia Diocesan Homes is convening a summit to explore how our parishes can use their property assets as revenue-neutral or revenue-positive tools for repurposing their mission, especially around housing and services to the community. We will highlight examples of successful Diocesan and nationwide faith-based initiatives. We hope these will spark your curiosity about repurposing your own parish’s assets and transforming your congregation both financially and spiritually. We invite lay leaders, clergy, diocesan staff, other faith leaders, and anyone else seeking inspiration and tools for startup.
