With a new liturgical year around the corner, it is a great time to review the administrative processes of your parish and make sure you have not missed any key administrative functions.

The Diocese of Edmonton has created a Parish Administration resource for use by clergy and parish administrators (or anyone doing administrative work in your parish). To access this resource, please visit https://edmonton.anglican.ca/parish-info/pages/parish-administration. The Word version (as opposed to the PDF) has some embedded resources, such as a rental contract template, that might be useful. Both the PDF and Word versions contain useful links and information.

We can do more together! Please make sure your parish knows about these important Diocese-wide events and initiatives by including them in your bulletin, announcements, calendars, and other channels.
