Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST!     GLORY FOREVER!

Greetings to all of you, your families, and the faithful of your parishes.  With the Blessing and Archpastoral guidance and leadership of His Eminence Archbishop MICHAEL, the Department of Youth Ministry strives to guide the youth of our Diocese in The Holy Orthodox Faith through prayer, education, and Christian Fellowship. The Youth are not only the future of the church but they are also the present. Therefore we work together in one mind, in one heart, in one voice to bring them together to build up the Body of Christ. Working alongside with our dedicated assistants: Danielle Geeza and Janine Alpaugh, we “serve the Lord with gladness and come before Him with great joy!”

Below is a list of activities that the Department of Youth Ministry organizes as well as participates in on an annual basis:

Annual Diocesan Girl’s Retreat
Family Day at the Palm Island Indoor Water Park (Batavia, NY)
              Annual Altar Server Retreat
