Notes from the 53rd annual Convention of the Diocese of Southwest Florida

T 16 12

his October marked the second virtual broadcast the 53rd Annual Diocesan Convention, connecting our delegates digitally via zoom, and live streaming to the diocese for the second year in a row. The pandemic, once again, prevented us from gathering in person in Punta Gorda, but in keeping with the Lord, we took past experiences and made them new with a hybrid model of an online and inperson convention. With an unspoken theme of transition, the 53rd Annual Convention radiated a glow of recognition and gratitude. Assisting Bishops, the Rt. Rev. Michael Garrison, and the Rt. Rev. Barry Howe and their spouses were recognized for 10 years of dedicated service to the diocese. Also celebrated were Mr. Kraig Koach for his years of service to the Finance Committee as Chair, and other outgoing diocesan committee members.
