For CYX, all forms, money, etc. must be submitted to the diocese by GROUP LEADERS ONLY. Teens and parents, pleeeeeeease do not drop off or mail stuff at the Pastoral Center unless instructed to do so, as you will only slow down the process! See or talk to your group leader!

CYX REGISTRATION MADE EASY (and the least expensive!):

1. Register your group online at catholicyouthx.com before June 13.

2. Submit your FORMS ONLY (no deposits!) in one complete packet to Carole Sluce before June 27.

3. Register those latecomers online between June 28 & July 7.

4. Submit all remaining forms and ALL PAYMENTS to Carole Sluce before July 11.

 The Fine Print (because registering teens is never that easy!): 

THU., MAY 1 – FRI., JUNE 13: Standard Registration Period
Online registration open

Parish leaders have up to and including Friday, June 13th to register their group online at catholicyouthx.com. All participants registering during this period lock in at the standard conference registration rate of $130 per person. Please refer to the Cancellation Policy prior to registering your teens!# No money or forms are accepted during this period. Online registration closes after June 13th.


SAT., JUNE 14 – FRI, JUNE 27: Forms Accepted
Online registration closed

During this period, FORMS ONLY (no deposits required!) may be turned in for those persons who were registered during the Standard Registration Period. Parish leaders must submit all forms together. Air conditioned dorms will be assigned to groups in the order in which complete group packets of forms were submitted.%


SAT., JUNE 28 – MON., JULY 7: Late Registration Period
Online registration open

Parish leaders have up to and including Monday, July 7th to register additional participants online at catholicyouthx.com. All participants registering during this period will be charged the late conference registration rate of $150 per person.
Please refer to the Cancellation Policy prior to registering your teens!# No money or forms are accepted during this period. Online registration closes after July 7th.


TUE., JULY 8 – FRI., JULY 11: Special Late Registration Period
Online registration closed
Parish leaders wishing to add participants after July 7 must contact Carole Sluce directly. Additional participants will be accepted during this period only if it creates an even dorm placement (2 males/females to a room). Example: If St. Spongebob Parish was already sending 4 teen girls, and Suzie wished to register for CYX on July 10, she would not be allowed to register unless she found an additional teen girl to register as well. No registrations will be accepted after July 11th. (See note below)  

A note from Kev:  This deadline will be enforced. Please recognize that the decision to deny registrants after July 11th was difficult because no one ever wants to deny a ministry opportunity for a young person. However administrative time spent processing last-minute registrants can sacrifice the quality of the conference in many ways. Simply put, every waking hour of the last week is needed for CYX preparation, and those that do follow registration deadlines deserve the best CYX possible! Please remind your teens of this policy.


TUE., JULY 8 – FRI., JULY 11: Payment & Forms Accepted
Online registration closed

During this period, all forms for added participants and ALL PAYMENTS must be submitted to Registration Coordinator Carole Sluce by the adult group leader. Parish leaders may contact Carole directly (219-769-2295) regarding their group balance due. No forms or money will be accepted after July 11. Parishes with forms or money due at that time will submit what they owe at check-in.

 

Forms & money should be mailed to or dropped off for: Carole Sluce, c/o Our Lady of Consolation, 8303 Taft St., Merrillville, IN 46410. (Email: olcteenAThotmail.com / 219-769-2295) We are thankful for her willingness to serve CYX ’08 as Registration Coordinator! Be nice to Carole by following the schedule above!

# Cancellation Policy : To protect OYYA from being billed by Valparaiso U. for participants that cancel, at least 50% of registration fees are non-refundable. Once a registration is submitted online, they are considered a CYX participant and subject to this policy. Cancellations must be communicated in writing or email to Carole Sluce (c/o Our Lady of Consolation Youth Ministry, 8303 Taft St., Merrillville, IN 46410 / olcteenAThotmail.com ) on or before June 27th. Cancellations after June 27th are responsible for 100% of their registration rate unless that person can be replaced by another participant of the same gender.

% In the spirit of fairness, groups that add 20% or more participants (beyond their Standard Registration number) after June 22 forfeit their priority dorm placement.
