“Bear one another’s burdens —
and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

[ Gal. 6:2 ]

Retreat Program:

Your Questions Answered: An open discussion of what matters to you – Dr. Peter Kondra

Hands on Faith: Fun fused with Tradition

Called to Serve: Ministering to those in need in our parishes & communities – Presbytera Maria Drossos

All Eparchy Youth, ages 7–25, together with their parents, are encouraged to attend.

Following Vespers, СУМК invites everyone to Ripley’s Aquarium.

In the Psalm that is read at the opening of Vespers (Psalm 103), we praise and glorify God — the God of Creation:

How magnified are Your works, O Lord! In wisdom You made them all. The earth is replete with Your creations.
This sea, how great and spacious it is! Therein are innumerable creeping things, animals both small and great.

Following our day together, you’ll have a chance to immerse yourself in a world inhabited by 16,000 of these “animals both small and great” creeping, swimming and floating through 5.7 million litres of water — from freshwater bays to saltwater reefs and forbidding lagoons — in North America’s longest underwater viewing tunnel, at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada.

Admission

There is NO COST to attend the Retreat itself. Admission to Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada will be offered at REDUCED COST.

Tentative Schedule

• Registration: 1:45pm
• Start Time/Ice Breakers: 2:00pm
• Session I: 2:15pm
