20th Annual John Paul II Tournament
April 20th – April 22th
The JPII tournament is a Conquest event held yearly in honor of Saint John Paul II. Every year boys from Regnum Christi schools and other schools and boy's clubs participate in the events. These events promote a spirit of friendship and healthy competition built around the participants identity as Christian men. Mass starts each day and adoration is a key stop in each team's game schedule.
