Sounds like a good trip for the kids. Did any from the San Francisco parish make it over there? Greece in early September must have been perfect weather for outdoor stuff.

I noticed it was under the blessing of Metropolitan Onufry, which is nice to see. Weather in Greece that time of year is usually still warm enough for hikes, so I hope the young people got some good outdoor time between the talks. Did anyone from our West Coast parishes go?

Our parish in Toronto sent two young people this year — they said the talks were solid and the weather held up nicely for the outdoor bits. Good to see it under Metropolitan Onufry’s blessing again.

Our parish in Manchester had a couple of lads go last year and they came back raving about the talks too, especially the one on keeping the faith when you're far from home. Glad the Toronto group made it again — did your two mention if they joined any of the hikes this time?

Our parish in Tbilisi also released two boys last year, one of them then told how good it was in the fresh air after the lectures. It is good that it is again under the blessing of Metropolitan Onufry. Did someone from the Greek parishes also come?

Yes, Gela, we also heard that there were two boys from Tbilisi. One friend told us that they really liked the evening walk on the beach. It is good that everything is going with the blessing of Metropolitan Onufre. Was anyone from Greece coming this year?
