Beginning of the fourth camp season of the Diocese of Corfutranslated

July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

On the morning of Tuesday, July 21, 2026, the fourth camp period for high school and high school girls of the camps of the Holy Diocese of Corfu in Kassiopi began. The leader of the period is the elder Maria Kytili-Mourtzanou, educator, the deputy leader is Mrs. Evangelia Mourtzanou, educator, and the spiritual advisor is the General Hierarchal Commissioner of the Holy Metropolis, Prot. Themistocles Mourtzanos. About 115 girls participate, together with the executives, most of whom are students and participate voluntarily and with love for the children.

The consecration was performed on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 21 by the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Corfu, Paxos and the Diapontian Islands, Mr. Nektarios. After the consecration, Mr. Nektarios heard beautiful camp songs and hymns from the girls, while he was delighted with their cheerfulness and vitality. Then, he spoke to the children and reminded that this year is dedicated to Panagia, as Pantanassa, as the queen of everything. Panagia was a simple girl of the people. But from the beginning of her life she had love for God, humility, prayer and remained pure in her life. Chastity is a virtue which today is despised,…

Χαίρομαι που η πρεσβυτέρα Μαρία Κυτιλή-Μουρτζανού είναι αρχηγός φέτος. Τα 115 κορίτσια με τόσα φοιτήτριες εθελόντριες δείχνουν ότι η δουλειά γίνεται με πολλή αγάπη. Ο Μητροπολίτης Νεκτάριος καλά έκανε και τους θύμισε για την αγνότητα, που πράγματι σήμερα την έχουν ξεχάσει οι περισσότεροι.

Oui, la présidente Μαρία Κυτιλή-Μουρτζανού est bien choisie, elle sait s’y prendre avec les jeunes. Les 115 filles et toutes ces étudiantes bénévoles, ça me rappelle nos petits camps à la paroisse, on voit tout de suite quand c’est fait avec le cœur. L’insistance de Mgr Νεκτάριος sur l’αγνότητα est juste, aujourd’hui on n’en parle presque plus.

Oui, la présidente Μαρία Κυτιλή-Μουρτζανού a vraiment le tour avec les ados, je l’ai vue à l’œuvre l’an dernier à un atelier caté. Les 115 filles et ces étudiantes qui donnent de leur temps gratuitement, ça change tout. Pour l’αγνότητα, je suis d’accord avec Mgr Νεκτάριος, c’est devenu presque un gros mot dans la société, dommage.

Радвам се, че и ти си харесал избора на архегос. Аз лично познавам сестрата на отец Темистоклис още от предишни години в Керкира и знам колко спокойно и с ред води групите. Само дето ми се струва, че 115 момичета са доста накуп – дали не им е трудно да стигнат до всяко едно поотделно?

Oui, la présidente Μαρία Κυτιλή-Μουρτζανού est vraiment à sa place, je l’ai croisée à Corfou il y a deux ans pendant une fête paroissiale et on sentait tout de suite qu’elle savait écouter les filles sans les brusquer. Les 115 participantes avec ces étudiantes bénévoles, ça doit créer une ambiance chaleureuse comme nos petites colonies à Saint-Séraphin. Pour l’αγνότητα, c’est vrai que c’est devenu un mot presque tabou, pourtant le métropolite Νεκτάριος a bien fait de le rappeler en partant de la vie toute simple de la Vierge.

Радвам се, че познаваш сестрата на отец Темистоклис от предишните години – тя наистина държи ред, без да вдига излишен шум. За 115-те момичета съм съгласен с теб, може и да им е тежичко да стигнат до всяко поотделно, особено когато повечето от помощничките са още студентки. Ти как мислиш, дали не е по-добре да ги разделят на по-малки групи следващия път?

Oui, je suis d’accord pour l’αγνότητα, c’est devenu un mot qu’on n’ose presque plus prononcer. L’an dernier j’ai vu Mme Mourtzanou animer un atelier sur la prière avec des ados, elle sait vraiment y faire sans les braquer. Espérons que ces quinze jours à Kassiopi leur laissent quelque chose de solide.
