On the weekend of July 18 and 19, 2026, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Corfu, Paxos and the Diapontian Islands, Mr. Nektarios, went to the camps of the Holy Metropolis in Kassiopi, North Corfu, which were completely renovated, thanks to his many years of efforts and care, in order to be close to the children of the 3rd camp period, the which hosts high school boys. During his pastoral visit he had the opportunity to communicate with them, closely monitor the camp program, strengthen the campers spiritually and address them with fatherly words of edification and love.

Thanks for the news. It is good that Bishop Nektary personally came to Cassiopeia, talked with the high school boys and saw how everything was renewed there thanks to his efforts. Archimandrite Dositheus and his team seem to really care about the children.

Yes, it is nice that Metropolitan Nektary not only came, but also himself checked how the reconstruction of the camp in Cassiope went. My grandson was in a similar shift last year, he said that Archimandrite Dosiphey works very well with children, especially at the liturgy. And you, Julia, do you have someone from your family in this Catholic period?

Yes, Yulia, it is nice to read that Bishop Nektary not only visited, but also personally talked with the high school students. A teacher I know from Corfu told me how Archimandrite Dositheus last year had conversations with the boys about the holy fathers of the Chalcedon Cathedral - the children remembered it. Have you been to Cassiopeia this summer?

Yes, Yuliya, it is good that Bishop Nektarius did not limit himself to the service itself, but also walked around the entire renewed territory in Cassiopeia. An acquaintance of mine from Odessa took his grandson to a similar shift last year and said that after such conversations, the boys themselves asked to read about the fathers of the Chalcedon Cathedral. How did you find out about this trip?
