Friday – Pre-Convention Meeting:
Friday is an informative day with motivational guest speakers and workshops.

We will introduce all the spiritual advisors who have joined us.

Four 45-minute workshops will be offered.

Supper is at the church at 5:00 followed by the Opening Mass/Ceremony at 7:00 pm.

Saturday – Convention Meeting:
We begin our convention meeting with our Memorial Service for deceased members and spiritual advisors, followed by the business session. The closing Mass will start at 5:00 pm. The Gala Banquet will be at the Polish Canadian Cultural Centre.
