St.Alphonsus is planning another wonderful fun-filled, faith-filled World Youth Day trip to see the Pope and celebrate our Faith with youths from all over the world during the summer of 2011.  We would be delighted if you could join us. Our last trip was very inspirational and a lot of fun and I know that this one will be just as enlightening as the last one. We will be having a meeting after the 10am Mass on Sunday August 11 in the school cafeteria. If you are interested in hearing the details please join us for this informational meeting. We will be talking about dates and fund-raising opportunities to help cover our travel costs. Mark your calendars. We would love to have you go with us.

Fr. Sean 

We were going to meet after the 6:00 Mass, but the times have been changed due to the time that will have the ice.  We will meet at 4:45 pm, we’ll have pizza and then leave by about 5:20.  Don’t forget to bring an inexpensive broom, duct tape and 10 dollars for the ice time.  The last outing was quite a blast so we’re sure you’ll enjoy this one. 

Make sure that you complete a trip permission form.  One is required for attendance.  It’s available as a MS Word doc, pdf file, or an on-line form on the Youth Ministry page.

The cost is $10 per student.

For grades 8 - 12.
