Parishes asked to submit updated data for 2010 OCA Sourcebook

“The Sourcebook is the single most important source of information for contacting our parishes,” Father Eric said. “It is absolutely critical that this information be accurate and timely.”

Included in the mailing was a set of instructions for updating parish information. Parishes are asked to review current information, update it, and return it to the Chancery office by October 1, 2009.

“We will be also distributing mailing lists to parishes in the near future as we update and revise our master mailing list,” Father Eric said. “It is from this list that we base the mailings for such important items as “The Orthodox Church” magazine.

In related news, if they have not done so already, OCA parishes are also reminded to submit documentation requested earlier this year concerning their 501[C] [3] tax-exempt status.
