Types of Palanca

Letters for any candidates you are sponsoring— Husband, wife, children, parents, brothers, sister, friends and your letter to your candidates.

Oven Palanca— Please bring a dish/or $7 for send-off meal. Dorm would also be appreciative if you brought breakfast items. Please contact the Head Dorm for more details.

General Palanca Letter— Letters that are placed on the walls at a Kansas City Tres Dias weekend.

Palanca Letters to Candidates (and Team) — These letters should be alphabetized by candidate’s/team member’s last name and given to Palanca Chas.

Table Palanca for the Rollo Room— Remember all those candies, scriptures, fruit baskets-food, food, food- that’s it! If bringing baskets make sure that there are at least 7.

Bed Palanca for Candidates— Some examples are scriptures, bic razors, small soaps, small crafts, candy. There must be at least 45. It is always a good idea to make a few extras just in case one gets broken.

Rollista Palanca— This is an encouragement letter to the Rollista that is put on their bed before their rollo. This is cherished by the Rollistas because they are usually nervous and need the encouragement. You can also write a short note of encouragement for the practice rollo as well. Please make 9 to cover all Rollistas, 13 if you are making for Spiritual Directors too!
