National Catholic Youth Conference
The NCYC will be held November 19 - 21 in
Indianapolis and the VOL CYO is asking for your help.
The cost per attendee is $675. It is mandatory that the
parents pay the deposit of $75, leaving a balance of $600.
This is where you come in.
We are asking for parishioners and ministries to either
sponsor a CYO student, or to make a donation to the CYO
to help defray the cost of the trip. You may place a check
or cash in an envelope marked NCYC and place it into the
collection basket.
The teen members are very excited to attend this
conference, and will have various fund raisers to help with
their cost. The kids that went two years ago got a lot out of
the trip. They grew closer to God and had a really good
time.
If you are a teen who would be interested in joining the
VOL CYO, or would like to make a donation to the CYO
please call Youth Director, Danny Laurent at 957-5848.
