For 106 years now, Episcopalians throughout the five western counties of the Commonwealth have gathered to discern GodÕs call to mission as the Diocese of Western Massachusetts. This year, we can rejoice with our new church development work underway in Southwick and be renewed in thanksgiving, purpose and missionary zeal -- as we continue in our second century.

The 106th Annual Meeting of the Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts will be held at the Springfield Sheraton Hotel on Oct. 26 and 27.

Convention is one of the most important annual Diocesan events, at which delegates learn together, make important decisions regarding Diocesan business and network with one another on parish issues.

The annual Convention banquet will be held Friday, Oct. 26 in the evening. The Director of Mission at the Episcopal Church Center, the Rev. Dr. James B. Lemler, will serve as the banquet speaker.
