Annual Meeting Co-Chairs 

Sir Greg and Dame Densy Chandra

The members of the San Bernardino Area are looking forward to welcoming our Western Lieutenancy members and guests to the 2023 Annual Meeting, with our theme “God’s Love Is All We Need, محبةُ اللهِ هي كلُّ ما نحتاجُ إليه” at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas in Rancho Mirage. We are looking forward to sharing our Area’s richness, as well as the diverse talents and gifts of our membership. 

The 2023 Annual Meeting will kick off with a spiritual education of Iconography and the unveiling of the Our Lady Queen of Palestine icon created by one of our members. Our Western Lieutenancy members and guests will have the opportunity to experience some wonderful Friday activities in the low desert such as golfing at the Desert Willow Golf Course and visiting the world’s largest rotating Tram-cars. The Promotion and Investiture Liturgies will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where once a upon a time was a worship place for President John F. Kennedy. We will also take you to the Middle East at our Saturday night dinner party, and the elegant Sunday Gala will welcome our new members.

We encourage members and guests to register for all our special activities-- the Thursday Night Iconography Presentation and Dinner, Friday morning golf at Desert Willow, or Friday outing to the Palm Springs Aerial Tram Way before they are sold out. These events have limited capacities. Early registration is encouraged.
