\nTo All Reverend Rectors of the Montreal & Canadian Diocese<\/p>\n
Directive<\/p>\n
This year, the St Herman\u2019s Youth conference will be jointly hosted, with God\u2019s help, at the St. John the Baptist Cathedral, Washington, DC, on December, 23-27.<\/p>\n
Please, remember, that the St Herman\u2019s youth conference for more then three decades continues it\u2019s mission to provide a rare opportunity for all of our Orthodox youth to meet together, to become acquainted, to participate in group discussions and to listen to lectures of a purely Orthodox character, and finally and most importantly, to prepare for and receive communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ on the feast day of St Herman, 25 December.<\/p>\n
In connection with this, I urgently request that all the reverend rectors take up a special collection on Sunday, December 18th of this year in our parishes at the end of the Divine Liturgy to help defray the costs of organizing this conference.<\/p>\n
It is also asked of each parish to sponsor at least one representative from amongst the youth \u2013 to take part in the St. Herman\u2019s Conference.<\/p>\n
The funds collected will help to cover the expenses of the conference and will also be used to make it possible for the St Herman\u2019s organizing committee to assist young people from families of limited means.<\/p>\n
This reminder is to be taken as a formal directive to this effect.<\/p>\n
I thank you in advance for your support. Please do not forget that our youth is our future. We must support it!<\/p>\n
