Diocesan Youth Conference

Dear Parents,

I wanted to remind you all that the registration forms for the annual Diocesan High School Youth Conference have gone out and the deadline is this Sunday. I have attached the flyer and the registration forms. You will notice that there is more attached to the registration form, so please just print the first 2 pages.

This conference is March 11-13. It is at White Oak Conference Center in Winnsboro (about 45 minutes from Chapin).

Our youth are always so excited about this conference and the buzz has already started. They LOVE this weekend. There will be speakers that have some moving and inspirational stories, skits performed by the Diocesan Evangelization Team (which we have 2 high school students on the team this year) that are hilarious and some with messages that every teen needs to hear. There is a band, games, basketball, volleyball, soccer, break out workshops to learn more about the things the teens are interested in (they pick 2 they can go to) and we end with Mass with the Bishop on Sunday morning.

I would love for every one of our teens to experience this weekend. It is such an amazing experience!

The cost is $140 for the whole weekend and includes registration, meals and a shirt. Fr. Andrew and I have the same view that cost should never be an issue, if this is something you'd like your teen to participate in. We can always work something out and we are happy to do it!!

This Sunday, I will be on the annual high school ski trip, so please put the forms and money either on my desk (there will be someone there this Sunday, so they will know what to do with it) or put it in my box upstairs in the hallway across from Pat Moore's office.

Please contact me with any questions!

I look forward from hearing from you.
