    This will be wonderful! The excellent music program and glorious architecture at St. Francis de Sales Oratory should not be missed, either.

    Just a bump up... get your registration in by March 1st to get early bird tuition rates. If you are planning to apply for a scholarship, please get your application and recommendations to me as soon as possible.

    It is going to be a great year... please join us!

    I was coming in here to post "Who wouldn't want to go to St. Louis? What a fantastic city!" - but I apparently already posted it.

    Bishop James Conley, from Nebraska, is going to be one of our plenary speakers... can't wait to hear him speak. Read about him here: http://www.lincolndiocese.org/bishops/bishop-james-conley/biography

    Just a little bump... you still have this evening and tomorrow to get those last-minute early bird registrations in. I have seen a lot of registrations this past couple of days... it is going to be a great year!

    I highly recommend visiting the Abbey—the acoustics are gorgeous, the organ is a delight to play, and the liturgies are well executed.

    Does anybody stay extra time after the colloquium ends? If so, do they change location or stay in the same accomodation?

    Usually people can stay in the hotel before and after.

    I believe the hotel will honor the rates for a few days after the event... for Saturday evening for sure... possibly beyond that.

    Janet, could you tell me if there is a policy at the colloquium regarding bringing an infant? I was surprised to hear from someone recently that they went in recent years to the colloquium and just brought their nursing infant along to the rehearsals.
    I never considered that possibility, because I never would've thought it was allowed at such an event. Is there any set-in-stone policies on this?

    There was an infant last year. No problem.

    So fun to have babes-in-arms! And lots of experienced moms around to happily help out!

    Kids of all ages are wonderful to have at the Colloquium, and they see what they are missing. Just as with adults, describing how the Mass should be celebrated does not to justice to the reality of that first Solemn High Mass.
