Relive a past connect
In 2016, the first JTO Connect was held in Dayton, OH at the Bergamo Center. Each year since, JTO Connect has been held in several different locations. In 2020 and 2021, we had to hold virtual JTO Connects. We returned to live Connects in 2022 and changed the name to Franciscan Connect.
During our youth
Pictures, convention rosters and schedules, and other items were saved from JTO days.
