We will hold an informational meeting for students AND parents on Sunday, November 18th at 1:15 p.m. in the youth room (the former Immaculate Conception Shop 107 West Seneca Street). At that meeting we will discuss cost, travel plans, hotel accommodations, fundraising and answer any questions you may have.
