Pan-orthodox young adults retreat in Mechanicsburg, PA

The Seventh Inter-Orthodox Young Adult Retreat, will take place September 25-27, 2009 and will be held at Hellenic College/Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Mass. This nation-wide retreat will welcome young adults from all jurisdictions. This year’s theme, God Created: From Created to Creators, will focus on Orthodoxy and the arts. His Grace Bishop Savas of Troas, the newly appointed Director of the Office of Church and Society, will be the keynote speaker.

The weekend will begin Friday with a Paraklesis service, icebreakers, and an evening of fellowship at the Hilton Boston Dedham Hotel. On Saturday morning, young adults will participate in morning prayers, workshops, and the keynote speech, all reflecting on the weekend theme of art, music, pop culture, and more. The day will continue with a campus tour, outdoor activities, and an evening barbeque and musicfest, co-hosted by the Hellenic College/Holy Cross Office of Admissions.
