The Diocese of San Diego celebrated past blessings, present joys and future visions as it marked 25 years of existence. The celebratory convention started with a banquet in Mission Valley, Feb. 5, prior to its meeting at St. Paul's Cathedral, Feb. 6.

During the convention, St. Paul's Church, Yuma, Ariz., was admitted into the diocese. Deputies to General Convention and officers for the 1999 diocesan convention were elected, and a $1,366,500 budget was passed.
