The following notice was emailed to clergy, listed parish administrators, and 2025 wardens and vestry members on February 5, 2026.
Parish Leaders,
Each year, congregations across our denomination follow the democratic processes that are part of our tradition, holding annual meetings, reflecting on the mission of the community, and conducting important business, including the election of vestry members and other offices.
And following that meeting, each year, every parish in the diocese submits an Annual Reporting Form to identify their newly elected leadership for information sharing, communication specific to their role (like communicating with delegates about diocesan convention), and to collaborate in ongoing mission and ministry as Episcopalians in Southern Ohio. Typically, this form is completed either by the clerk of the vestry, a parish administrator, clergy, or the senior warden.
The 2026 report form is available now. The submission deadline is April 1, 2026.
Please note: this form is separate from The Episcopal Church’s Parochial Report. To learn more about the churchwide Parochial Report, please visit their website.
Please contact Liz Brauza-Hughes, data and information manager, with any questions as you complete your submissions. Her email is lbrauzahughes@diosohio.org.
Faithfully,
Canon Katie Forsyth
Canon for Communications
The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio
