CHICAGO, IL [MW Diocese Communications] — Due to the convocation of the 17th All-American Council at Holy Trinity Church, Parma, OH on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, the 51st Assembly of the Diocese of the Midwest has been rescheduled for Monday, November 12.

Registration will continue at 7:30 a.m. Monday, November 12, followed by breakfast and the opening Service of Prayer at Archangel Michael Church. The first plenary session will follow.
The second plenary session will begin at 1:30 p.m. Closing prayers and installation will be held at 5:00 p.m.
