Young people from the Diocese of Northern Europe participated in a pilgrimage to the monasteries in Romaniatranslated

July 10, 2026 · 1 min read

Young people from the Diocese of Northern Europe participated, this week, in a pilgrimage organized to several monasteries in Romania.

One of the groups of pilgrims was accompanied by His Holiness Father Macarie. Among the participants were the twin brothers Cleopa and Paisie from Greenland, baptized by the hierarch.

The activities are part of the spiritual training programs dedicated to the young generations in the diaspora.

"In a world where many young people are wasted by loneliness, restlessness, digital addictions and lack of landmarks, pilgrimages, camps and meetings at monasteries and missionary settlements become occasions for soul healing, pure friendship and strengthening in faith," the representatives of the diocese said in a post on Facebook.

During the summer, groups of young Romanians and Scandinavians will participate in camps and spiritual activities organized at monastic settlements in the country, accompanied by parish priests and volunteers.

It's good that the twin brothers Cleopa and Paisie from Greenland also came, baptized by PS Macarie himself. These pilgrimages to our monasteries really help young people from the diaspora to escape a little from loneliness and screens. May God give peace and fruit from the summer camps.

Bine că au menționat și pe frații gemeni Cleopa și Paisie din Groenlanda, mi s-a părut tare frumos că i-a botezat chiar PS Macarie. Pelerinajele astea chiar par să-i ajute pe tineri să lase ecranele și să respire lineiștiți la mănăstiri. Să dea Dumnezeu să iasă roade bune din taberele de vară.

Yes, I saw the pictures of Cleopa and Paisie - it seems like yesterday they were little and now they are walking around the monasteries. It seems to me that these pilgrimages really give them a concrete purpose, not just words. Let's see how the summer camps will be, maybe some young people will come from us in Timișoara.
