CIOCS
Catholic Community Day & School Fair
Please join us in supporting and encouraging local Catholic schools at the annual CIOCS Community and School Fair, where you can meet the local independent Catholic schools and get to know local Catholic ministries and businesses. This year, we have a special treat as our event will serve as a local launching point to learn more about PAC27 - a major Catholic international event of significant importance happening at Lansdowne Park next September, 2027.
