It is Bishop Duckworth’s desire to visit each parish in the diocese within fifteen to eighteen months. The Bishop creates a visitation schedule in advance, rotating among parishes to fit them in within the calendar year schedule. In the event your parish is not listed for a visit during this calendar year and you have individuals prepared for Confirmation, you should contact Bishop Duckworth. She will personally go over the options with you.

Note that, unless specifically requested otherwise, she will attend one Sunday morning service. Please check not only your date but also the service time listed as we know that changes may have occurred. As is our practice, a packet will be sent out prior to your visitation.

If you need to change a date, please coordinate with the church with which you wish to switch. However, before any final changes are made, they must be approved by the diocesan office.

Unforeseen circumstances may result in changes to the schedule.

Please contact Jessica Lee (jlee@edola.org) with any questions or modifications about the schedule.
