FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What constitutes a "group?"
A group is typically a parish high school youth group. However we do allow parents to create a small group as long as you have safe environment training and are in good standing with the church.
Group Leader: Adult attending the conference who serves as primary contact with the conference office before and during the conference.
