September 12, 2022Canyon—Friday, Sept. 23 is the deadline to register for the 86th annual Fall Convention of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW). This year’s convention will be hosted by the Central Deanery and take place Friday, Oct. 7 and Saturday, Oct. 8 at St. Ann’s Church.
The theme of this year’s convention is Wide Open Hearts, Abiding in Faith, Hope and Love.
Cost of the convention is $47 for both days and includes registration and meals.
Registration is transferable, but not refundable, according to Musick. There is no registration fee for priests and religious, but there will be a cost for meals.
Registration for the convention begins Oct. 7 at 4:00pm in the St. Ann’s Parish Hall, followed by Mass at 5:00 at St. Ann’s Church. All priests are invited to concelebrate the Mass. After Mass, there will be a banquet in the St. Ann’s Parish Hall, where the 2022 DCCW Woman of the Year will be announced and a reception in her honor will conclude the opening day’s activities.
The convention continues Oct. 8 with a brief business meeting and two presentations from morning speakers Deacon John Renteria and his wife Maria and from afternoon presenter Cindy Lewis.
“Our service project for this year’s convention will be Catholic Charities of the Texas Panhandle,” said Musick. “Protein items, such as canned meats, peanut butter and jelly, dry beans, canned beans and rice are among the items needed. The collection from the Oct. 7 Mass will also go to Catholic Charities.”
Each parish affiliate is asked to donate three quality items, with a $25 minimum value, for this year’s DCCW drawing. Items may be brought to Teresa Sarzynski’s office at 4718 South Western in Amarillo between 9:00am and 2:00pm before Sept. 23.
