Commentary
The Office for Catholic Youth Ministry organizes annual events for young people and adult leaders.
CYM will bill parishes for events where groups attend and the parish leaders would prefer to pay with one check. A bill will be sent in the week after the event and payment is expected within thirty (30) days. There is a $25 return fee assessed on all returned checks. Unless otherwise announced, CYM will not bill individuals. Payment for individuals is expected at the time of on-site registration.
In the case where a parish pre-registers participants but arrives to the event with less than the pre-registered number, CYM will make every attempt to only bill the actual amount incurred for those who do not attend (the cost of lunch, for instance). CYM reserves the right, however, to bill the entire amount since the number of pre-registered participants has already become part of the planning process.
