The Conference Planning and Coordination Committee (CPCC) for the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West was formed as a Diocesan Committee in May 2002 and reports directly to His Eminence, Archbishop JOSEPH. The CPCC is vested with the authority and responsibility to assure the planning and successful execution of the Parish Life Conferences (PLC), the Fall Gathering Meetings, the Creative Arts, Writing, Photography and Poetry Festivals, the Bible Bowl and the Oratorical Festival.
 
The mission of the CPCC is to provide orderly support, planning tools and coordination to the hosting parishes and their PLC Committees, assuring their full compliance with the requirements of hosting a PLC and maximizing the opportunity for a spiritually and financially successful PLC.  This mission includes supplying the PLC host parish with the Conference Planning Manual (CPM), the Antiochian Event Budgeting and Reporting Tool (PLC Software), a knowledgeable PLC Coordinator and assuring proper reporting of the PLC.  Further, the mission of the CPCC is to manage the process of the responsibilities set forth above.
