We’re trying to plan our trip. Could someone please add (or email us) the time for the opening ceremony and the start time/expected end time for the closing ceremony?
Thank you.
Please let me know if there are printing needs say, flyers or cards that need to be printed. I work for a printing company and I may be able to get sponsorship for flyers/postcards that might be needed for the conference.
Are there going to be a Mass available after the closing ceremony?
