On May 25, a week-long Orthodox youth camp for the island of Mindanao ended in the Philippines.
The event was attended by teenagers and young people aged 15 to 25 from four deaneries of the diocese. The camp was held under the leadership of the chairman of the Youth Department of the diocese, Deacon Dimitri Cahilig.
Over the course of 7 days, the participants studied Orthodox doctrine, the Holy Scriptures, learned church singing and reading, prepared together for the sacraments of Communion and confession, talked with the clergy and asked questions that concerned them. Also, as part of the program, the children participated in competitions in various sports and creative activities. The children made models of Orthodox churches with their own hands.
The diocese thanks donors for their help in providing travel and food for participants from needy families.
