Introduction:
The Orthodox Church in America Youth Movement exists as a deanery-based Church-wide
youth movement. Its main mission is to build and strengthen relationships among
Orthodox youth within each deanery of the Orthodox Church in America through
fellowship, education, worship, and service.
Each ecclesiastical year, every deanery holds three events for its youth (10-17/18):
In addition, the Holy Synod invites the youth of the Orthodox Church in America to focus on a common theme each year to foster their ongoing spiritual growth.
For the 2003-2004 ecclesiastical year, the Holy Synod chose the theme “Let Your Light So Shine!”
The Department of Youth Young Adult and Campus Ministry developed this retreat as a resource for dioceses, deaneries, and/or parishes as they discuss this theme with their youth.
