(High schoolers and young adults are welcome and encouraged to serve as Convention volunteers. Please email EDLA’s Missioner for Youth Ministries Gabe Vazquez-Reyes at gvazquez-reyes@ladiocese.org for additional information.)
Please fill out this form to pre-register for childcare. Once submitted, you will be emailed a more detailed form that needs to be given to the staff at Convention when you drop off your child(ren).
There is no charge for childcare, but cash or check donations to help offset costs are gratefully accepted. If you’d like to donate with a check, please make it out to the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles and write “Convention Childcare” in the memo line.
