Bus Information for Parents
Parents are invited to ride the bus and we will need parent chaperones. Parents who ride the bus need to be Cori'd and will be considered chaperones.
The cost of the bus: TBD
Unfortunatley, children who do not attend Bishop Feehan are not permitted to ride the bus. This is a Fall River Diocesan rule.
