2021 Diocesan Convention Update from Bishop Meghan:
Virtual Convention in November
The Dixie Fire, which began July 13, has burned nearly 500,000 acres, making it the 2nd largest fire in California's recorded history. The fire has devastated Greenville, Canyon Dam, and other towns, and continues to threaten Chester, Lake Almanor, and Quincy.

The Office of the Bishop has provided many gift cards for victims of the Dixie Fire. If you would like to give to fire relief, please visit the GIVE  link on our web site. Your contribution helps us both to offer immediate, direct aid to those in need, and to sustain a long-term commitment to heal and restore devastated communities.
