PARIS – Catholic youths from around Maine will combine winter games with prayer and study during a winter carnival this weekend at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School and local sports venues.

Around 600 youths are expected to attend the event, sponsored by the Maine Diocesan Council for Catholic Youth and hosted by St. Catherine of Sienna Catholic Church in Norway.

The students will stay with local host families.

A dance will be held at the high school Saturday night.

On Sunday, students will attend a 9 a.m. Mass at the church before they return home.
