DWTX from Anaheim - The 76th General Convention opens today in Anaheim, California, and the Diocese of West Texas is well represented with bishops, deputies, alternate deputies, women, visitors, exhibitors, and the communications team. Children of the aforementioned have come with their parents and descended on Disneyland, Universal Studios, and the hotel swimming pool. Occasionally the kids have peeked in on what the adults are doing (boorring). fifteen-year-old Amy Read summed it up on her Facebook page: “Wow, that’s a lot of priests!”
For the next ten days, you can expect to hear from us daily through this e-newsletter and our daily blog. The latter will have news postings from the communications team on the ground in Anaheim plus viewpoint postings from our deputies and alternate deputies. Our bishops will record a message daily – you can hear it here or on our blog. We will update late at night, so this should be in your mailbox each morning.
Meanwhile, the team at home will be twittering, updating our Facebook, and updating the website. Wow, that’s a lot of stuff!
So stay with us, and let us hear from you. You can comment on our blog page or send an email to Marjorie.george@dwtx.org.
Opps, that post above should not have had a happy face but was suppose to be the number “8″ followed by the close of a “)” Oh well, that’s the blogging world for you.
Our first Facebook message and Tweet about GC just went out (4:30 p.m. central on July
and will link hundreds of “friends” to this blog. Thanks for following and all your comments.
