Q: Can I skip the MAGIS programme and join you for only the World Youth Day portion?

Q: How does the payment work? Do I need to pay it all at once?
A: We first begin with a down payment to cover the cost of the registration fees and the securing of seats on the flights. The rest of the cost is to be paid in installments.
