The encounter, which is open to young women in our Diocese ages 12-18, will provide an opportunity for the young women of our Diocese to spend time in each other’s company, have fun, pray together, and learn about how God calls each woman to serve His church with her talents and abilities.

Centered on the theme, Love is Faith in Action, this engaging experience will highlight how young women can live our Orthodox Faith and serve the Church with their own unique gifts.
