We recommend that you add the spots for your expected group size at the time of group leader registration.
This ensures you have the spots that you need and allows you to avoid late registration fees. Any spots added to your group after key deadlines will be subject to the higher rate.
You can add additional spots at any time, however, to remove spots from your group you will need to contact the OACE staff at oaceevents@archgh.org.

What should I do with the digital forms?
What should I do with the digital forms?
When you receive a new form, you should immediately download a copy for your records. The OACE staff will also receive a digital copy and will have access to them during the event.
It is highly recommended that you print several copies of these forms, one set to leave at the parish and one set to have with the key leader throughout the event.
Additionally, if you are arranging group travel (Bus or carpool) a copy of each from should be with the driver/designated leader in each vehicle.
What should I do if a participant filled out a digital form, but never received an email with the link?
What should I do if a participant filled out a digital form, but never received an email with the link?
The most likely cause of this is that one of the required emails was not entered correctly (misspelled or in the wrong format).
This does not mean that the form was not received, just that the automated flow sending the email was not triggered.
Email the OACE Staff to see if the form was completed. Please provide the following information:
- Group Leader Name
- Parish Name
- Participant Name
- Date the form was submitted
