Useful Information

Once we have received your registration, you will receive an e-mail from the Connections team with information and directions for the weekend.

Check-in time for the retreat will be 6:30-7:30 pm on Thursday, July 10, 2008. Our team will be unable to receive you before 6:30 pm unless you make other arrangements with us in advance. When you arrive on campus, come to St. Mary’s Hall (#48 on the full campus map ) to register with our student leaders and get settled.

The weekend will conclude at Noon on Sunday, July 13th, so please plan your travel arrangements accordingly. WE will conclude with a Mass at which all are welcome, including your parents or whoever might be picking you up!

Because you will be staying in a dorm room, there are a few things that you should bring: toiletries, a pillow, a blanket, towels, and sheets or a sleeping bag. You will be staying in an air-conditioned residence hall on campus so it will be cooler at night. Also you will use community bathrooms, so bring your flip flops for the shower! The dress for the weekend is very casual. Make sure to bring appropriate clothing for our day of service, including sneakers, and clothes that you do not mind getting dirty. The group also will be going on a trip into the city of Philadelphia, so please bring some spending money in case you would like to buy anything.

If you have any questions, please contact
