Mandatory Chaperone Meetings:
Monday, August 17
6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
@ St. William Parish
5411 Mahoning Ave., N.W.
Warren (Champion) OH 44483
in the social hall.
Tuesday, August 25
6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
@ St. Thomas Aquinas Middle and High School Commons (Cafeteria)
2121 Reno Dr N.E.
Louisville OH 44641
Please park in the back beside the stadium and enter the main door in the back.
Have each of your adults pick whichever date or location works best for him/her.
For anyone unable to attend one of these meetings, they will have make-up assignments to complete as I have to sign off that every single adult traveling with our delegation is in complete compliance with the regulations set forth by the NFCYM. Attending a meeting also give chaperones a chance to meet each other which helps makes their jobs in November easier. These meetings are also the forum in which they can ask questions and "borrow" ideas from others!
Please note, this is NOT related to the Diocesan Child Protection Policy in-service, which must also be completed for any adults who have not already completed that process. DO NOT wait too late to begin. I have heard that some counties/deaneries have upcoming in-services in anticipation of the summer mission trips and events. Consult the diocesan website for upcoming dates:

Keep the Group Leader Manual handy and follow the instructions from there......
THANK YOU for all you (will) do to make this pilgrimage possible for your youth!
