Description
XB!
With the blessing of
Archimandrite Luke, Holy Trinity Monastery invites you to participate in its
second annual Youth Retreat. This year, we've decided to bring back an old
Jordanville tradition - a youth pilgrimage for Pentecost. Along with joining in
the Divine Services, participants will also help prepare the monastery for the
Great Feast by working together on a number of team projects. (please see the
full schedule below)
Like last year, the retreat
is designed for college and post-college youth (no younger than 18). We hope
that those who attend the retreat will generate new friendships, strengthen old
ones, and enjoy a spiritually edifying weekend at the monastery!
Please note that
participants are responsible for their own lodging. We recommend staying at the
Monastery Guesthouse, located within short walking distance. However, rooms are
sure to fill up quickly, so make your reservation ASAP. The guesthouse can be
reached at (315) 858 0131 or guesthouse@email.com. For men, camping on
monastery grounds is also an option. While there is no registration fee, we
encourage participants to make a $35 donation to the monastery to cover the
cost of food.
If you plan to attend,
please RSVP to jordanville.youth@gmail.com. It is NOT ENOUGH to hit the
attending button. You can also email us any questions you might have.
We hope you'll join us for
this special weekend!
