The Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania held its annual Winter Teen Retreat at St. Tikhon's Seminary, 4-5 February, 2006. This year's theme: "What's Love got to do with it?"
Speakers included recent Seminary graduate, Priest Timothy Hojnicki of Holy Apostles Mission in Mechanicsburg, PA; representatives from "Loving Choices" the "Womens Resource Center"; and Nicholas Macuta & Kimberly Metz from the Teen Activities Committee of the Department of Christian Education of the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania.
In addition to attending lectures, teens enjoyed food and fellowship activities. On Saturday evening and Sunday morning retreat participants gathered with the St. Tikhon's community for All-Night Vigil and Divine Liturgy services at St. Tikhon's Monastery Church.
On Thursday, February 24th, His Grace Bishop BASIL, of the Antiochian Archdiocese, spoke with seminarians of St. Tikhon's together with clergy from the dioceses of Eastern Pennsylvania and New York / New Jersery.
His Grace spoke eloquently and powerfully, revealing something of the wisdom he has acquired during his years of pastoral and archpastoral service.
