4. Steubenville Conference coming to Toronto - July 4-6!
Fr. Vid has agreed to subsidize $75 per person for the July 4-6 Steubenville (Toronto) Conference, which brings the price down to $200 plus bus, which should be cheap since it is in Toronto (includes conference registration, food and hotel accommodations for 2 nights). I am THRILLED! SO START SAVING UP!! Registrations are in January and it will be sold out really quick! For more info: http://www.steubenvilleconferences.com/youth
