pilgrimageThey will do so by engaging in a pilgrimage to Holy Transfiguration
Monastery in nearby, Ellwood City, PA where they will tour the monastery, hear a
spiritual talk from one of the female monastics and participate in a special
work project.
In addition to opportunities for participating in the liturgical services,
group discussions, and other activities of a spiritual nature, the participants
will also have ample time to enjoy the camp's swimming pool and recreational
amenities.
The registration fee for the youth participants is $55.00 which covers the
weekend's food and lodging. Registration deadline is August 1, 2008.
To facilitate the participation of as many youth as possible, transportation
will be offered on a chartered school bus to Camp Nazareth from Christ the
Saviour Cathedral at an additional cost of $20.00 per person. The bus will leave
