The diocesan retreat held on Sunday, April 6th has an additional cost of $20 (registration will be separate at a later date through Diocese).
If the fee for either is a potential barrier to participation for your child, please let us know – we never want that to stop your child from receiving the sacraments :)
We strongly encourage your youth to take advantage of other supplemental faith opportunities throughout this journey that you will be invited to! We will communicate lots of other optional things to enhance this wonderful time of preparation!
