The announcement—posted to the OCA website—states that registration ends on June 13, 2025.
"Registration for delegates and observers, for the hotel, and for the youth event is accessible through the AAC Website. Vendors and exhibitors will find the appropriate forms on the website."
The announcement states that the agenda for the council will be posted sixty days prior. The council will be held at the Grand Mesa Resort in Phoenix. While registration is set at $300, the council offers a opportunity to witness the governance of the Church, meet with the hierarchy and faithful from across the country. This is, perhaps, more important for the many recent converts coming into the Church, as it offers an opportunity to see Church life outside of the local parish context.
