First, here are the dates and locations for this summer’s Love Begins Here (LBH) sessions: ·Middle School: June 20-23 in Edgerton ·High School: July 11-16 in Wisconsin Dells/ Baraboo You can register at: madisondiocese.org/lbhregistration. For 2021, LBH will follow one of the following paths: Traditional Path: Overnight, residential camp mission trips where all missionaries will live and serve together at one common host site in the Diocese. Core Team will be present with the missionaries for the entire week. This is how we ran LBH from 2009 - 2019. Parish-based Path: Parish based, day camp mission trips where missionaries will join together at their own parish each week. Core Team will travel in pairs to join missionaries at their individual sites throughout the week. The evening community time (Collatio) will be partially delivered over Zoom, connecting all missionaries live once a day. If you register for LBH 2021, you are guaranteed a mission trip on that given week with your parish group — we’ll let you know what path it will be on later this spring. The decision of which path to follow will be made by the end of April, after consulting with diocesan leadership, health professionals, and local health guidelines. The following are some final notes regarding registration: * Once you are in the registration system, please familiarize yourself with our refund policy. The deadline is May 31. -If you ended last summer having paid in full for a missionary in 2020, LBH promised a $50 discount when registering that missionary in 2021. LBH will manually process each registration and will apply the discount to all missionaries it applies to before charging your credit card or sending an invoice. -LBH also has financial aid available to any families who are in need. If you need a financial aid code, please reach out to Zoe Bernard here at St. Bernard Parish before beginning registration. You will need it at checkout! -If you typically sign up your teens as Lost Sheep, please note that there is only one middle school option (MS3) and one high school option (HS4). Because of the two path approach, Lost Sheep families must to be willing to transport their teens to and from Madison each day. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Zoe Bernard at zoe@stbmidd.org.
