Final List of Certified Delegates and Alternates for 2025 Convention
Churches: Now that the deadline for changing your church’s certified delegates and alternates (September 26) has passed, please check the final list of certified delegates (including youth delegates) and alternates and how many total are eligible to vote at Convention.
Changes after that will be limited to substituting already certified alternates for certified delegates. This is a change that can be done at check-in on event day. Each parish has the responsibility of coordinating and communicating any such changes with its delegation members.
