Constitution or Canonical change deadline

The Constitution and Canons guide the governance of the diocese. A committee reviews the Constitution and Canons each year and considers whether to propose changes. Proposed amendments may come from any member of the diocese, although the committee requests submission 90 days prior to convention (August 12, 2023) for an opportunity to review the proposal to make sure it abides by wider-church rules.

The absolute deadline to submit a proposed change is September 11, 2023 (60 days prior). Contact diocesan chancellor Joseph J. Dehner at jdehner@fbtlaw.com with any questions.
