This year, the St Herman\u2019s Youth conference will be held, with God\u2019s help, at the Holy Trinity Monastery, Jordanville, USA. The St Herman\u2019s youth conference is now in it\u2019s 30th year and 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 feastday of St Herman, 12\/25 December.<\/p>\n
In connection with this, I urgently request that all the reverend rectors take up a special collection on Sunday, December 6\/19 of this year in our parishes at the end of the Divine Liturgy to help defray the costs of organizing this conference. I would also ask that this be announced from the amvon prior to the collection taking place.<\/p>\n
The St Herman\u2019s committee which is undertaking the organization of the conference is working very hard to contain the costs of attending these conference to a minimum. As always, the outlays for food and lodging are the highest. For this reason we are appealing to each parish to make this conference accessible to as many of our Orthodox youth as possible.<\/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
You may ask why support a conference in the USA when we have our own Canadian needs? To this I will answer, last year when the conference was in Montreal we received most of our support from the USA parishes. We need to contribute generously to help as many of our Canadian youth to attend the conference this year.<\/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<\/p>\n
