JOHNSTOWN, PA – Plans are underway for the Annual Altar Boy Retreat which will take place from Sunday evening, June 26th (Registration is from 6pm till 8 p.m.) until Wednesday, June 29th. The Retreat will once again take place at Christ the Savior Seminary, Cathedral and Education Center in Johnstown. This year’s outing will be to Teen Quest Ranch in Somerset, PA where they will enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities. This is the time and place for our faithful Altar Servers to join other Altar Boys from all over our Diocese.
All parishes of the Diocese are urged to underwrite the $100.00 participation fee for their Altar Servers, recognizing that the Altar Boy of today may very well be the priest of tommorow!
Those parishes which pay their altarboys retreat registration fees, are asked to PLEASE SUBMIT THEIR CHECK BY THE DEADLINE. The money is needed to make deposits on the various activities that are taking place.
All checks should be made payable to “DIOCESE ALTAR BOY RETREAT” and sent directly to Very Rev. Protopresbyter David Cochran, 40 Beaver Dam Road, Stratrford, CT 06614. Please include a list of names of those the Church is paying for so that payment may be credited.
All Altar Boys must be registered by June 13, 2016.
Registrations that are not paid by that time cannot be guaranteed a T-shirt or even a spot at the retreat.
