The Parochial Report must be reviewed and approved by the Vestry or Bishop's Committee (typically during January or February meetings) prior to filing.

Filing & Requirements

• Deadline: March 1st.
• Online Filing: Must be entered online at DFMS Reports. If using the Episcopal Parish Registry, attendance counts will pre-populate; otherwise, pull numbers from the parish register book.
• Key Changes: Instructions are now on the form itself. Narrative lines 13–15 are optional. Clergy names are no longer requested (only the count of clergy).
• Supplemental Page: The new Supplemental Financial page is mandatory for the diocese.
• Bishop's Office Submission: Send the completed report (including signed page one) and supporting financials to dnwtcomm@nwtdiocese.org, or mail to Bishop Mayer's Office (1802 Broadway, Lubbock, TX 79401).
