ACYC 2013--WIDE OPEN

I just wanted to remind everyone about the upcoming Archdiocesan Catholic Youth Conference (ACYC) which is going to be held in Orange Beach, AL at the Perdido Beach Resort. The dates of the trip are February 22-24th and theme for this year is "Wide Open." The total cost for your trip will be $175.00 which will cover you conference cost, bus ride, and hotel stay. If you would like to go please RSVP by Jan by Jan. 31st by turning in your Registration paperwork. ACYC only occurs every two years so this is a great opportunity for all of the Catholic Youth of the Archdiocese to gather and worship together. This is going to be an awesome trip so i hope you can all make it.
