Choose the correct registration type

Before you begin, please review the Registration Types on the Clergy‑Laity website to ensure you select the option that best fits your role (e.g., Parish Delegate (voting member) or Non-delegate Attendee (non-voting)). Selecting the right category helps us plan appropriately and streamlines onsite check‑in. All individuals registering as a Voting Delegate will be confirmed with their parish.
