For those traveling from outside of San Antonio:
If you cannot stay overnight, Saturday, September 19 will have the bulk of the weekend's activities.
If you plan to stay overnight, you can check out nearby hotels, Airbnbs, etc. to stay at with your group. Unfortunately we do not have any discount codes for hotels or Airbnbs at this time.
A convent/retreat center that is about 15 minutes from the Basilica has offered to allow women who are participating in CYAD26 to stay the night there for a donation. If you and/or your group are interested in that, send an email to Br. Vladimir at youngadults@littleflowerbasilica.org for more details.
If you have any questions, please contact Br. Vladimir Guadalupe at youngadults@littleflowerbasilica.org.
