R.S.V.P. by Wednesday, September 16.
On Saturday, November 7, explore the churches of old New York, beginning with the Mother Seton Shrine at Battery Park, and continuing up Broadway to Trinity Church, St. Peter’s and other sites. The trip will conclude at the South Street Seaport, where students can walk along the river, explore the shops, and enjoy a meal on their own. The group will meet in front of the Bishop Dougherty University Center at 9:30 a.m. and travel into the city by train. Space is limited. R.S.V.P. by Wednesday, November 4.
