2024 Parochial Report Filing is Open – Get Started Now

Dear , New York


If you haven't already, filing is now open for the 2024 Parochial Report. Please ensure that your report is submitted on time, as the filing site will close for all congregations on March 1, 2025. After this date, you will need to contact your diocesan administrator for assistance in filing your report.


Important Updates for 2024

  • This year’s Parochial Report includes significant changes. We believe the new version is both simpler and shorter, making the filing process more streamlined.
  • If you have questions about the updated report, please be aware that we are all familiarizing ourselves with the new format. We appreciate your patience as we work together through these changes.


Need Help?

Your diocesan administrator is your primary point of contact for questions or assistance with the Parochial Report. The General Convention Office continues to support dioceses and will assist as much as possible. Please understand that our office is working with dioceses nationwide, and we ask for your patience if you reach out to us directly. If your question is with regards to the parish register app, please email the General Convention Office at reports@episcopalchurch.org.
