THE VICARIATE ASSEMBLY

The Vicariate Assembly is a body consisting of clergy, 15 elected members of the laity/deaconate and parish representitives. The Assembly comes together twice a year, in November and June, to discuss the life and work of the Vicariate and its ecumenical activities. It must approve the Vicariate’s budget, elect members to the Vicariate Council and various other bodies, and generally further the life of the Vicariate. The meetings last all day (on a Saturday) and are a mixture of spiritual, pastoral and business concerns, with a major discussion topic introduced by a speaker.
The forthcoming elections are to elect lay members to the Assembly.

The Vicariate Statutes are available on-line in PDF format.
