JOHNSTOWN, PA -  The Chancery is pleased to announce that  registration for the 2014 College Conferences is now open.  The conferences will be held during Christmas Break in two locations:  St. Nicholas Ranch in Dunlap, Calif  and  Antiochian Village in Bolivar, Pa.;  each centering on Orthodox Christian Fellowship's (OCF) theme for the year - "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness, into His own marvelous light.”  1 Peter 2:9

 

Annually, nearly 400 college students from across North America participate in College Conference to learn and grow closer in their Orthodox Faith in an exemplary display of pan-Orthodox fellowship. Each four-day conference includes a prominent keynote speaker, along with workshops led by clergy and lay leaders who are experts in their related fields.  

 

Last year, Bishop Gregory was joined by a number of  Diocesan College Students at College Conference East who had an awesome experience!

Students are urged to register online ASAP on the OCF Website.   To register,  students need  to register for an ocf events registration account.  Because of the scholarships offered, Diocesan Students will not be required to pay a deposit.
