Ministry Fair
The Ministry Fair is a unique and in-person event that shows off the breadth and depth of ministry in our diocese with displays from congregations, ministry groups, national organizations, and businesses that specialize in church products and services.
Registration is closed for the 2024 Annual Ministry Fair, on October 11 & 12 at the Charlotte Harbor Events and Convention Center. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Michelle Mecurio at 941-556-0315 x977 or by email at mmercurio@episcopalswfl.org.

Chalices, ciboriums, cruets, prayer books, hymnals, crosses, stands, altar, and gospel books. Chasubles, dalmatics, copes, stoles, shirts, and suits can arrive on hangers or in storage bags.
Please label your donations and package them in light containers. DAG will be collecting donations on Thursday, October 5, from noon - 4 p.m.; Friday, October 6, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Saturday, October 7 from 8 a.m. to noon.
