The English Women were not able to hold their weekend, due to the low number of candidates available to make it.
To hold a weekend, we must have at least 9 candidates signed up with paperwork completed and turned in to the pre-cursillo chairperson no later than one week prior to the begining of the weekend.
Please continue PALANCA for all the upcoming weekends.
