About:
The Emery Washington Convocation is one of four convocations within the Diocese of Missouri. We meet at least four times a year, by Zoom or in person, to pray, prepare for diocesan convention, learn about parish and diocesan ministries, form relationships with each other, have fun together, and celebrate
the life and ministry of our namesake, the Rev. Emery Washington, Sr. You are invited to attend our events if you belong to one of the churches listed above.
If you are an elected diocesan convention delegate or alternate representing one of our congregations, it is especially important that you attend, as you are an important link in the communication between your parish and the diocese. For more information, sign up to receive our monthly newsletter. If you have any ideas, questions, or concerns about the Emery Washington Convocation, please contact one of the leaders listed below.
