Altar Boy Retreat

/in /by

On October 11th, 2014 from 2-5PM there will be an Altar Boy Retreat. We ask that any young gentleman who will be an Acolyte/Altar Boy for the 2014-15 year to attend.  Please spread the word to families who might want their son to become an acolyte here at St. Demetrios.

At our retreat, we will have what is called a Teaching Liturgy.  We will actually celebrate the Liturgy all together and we will learn about the Liturgy as well as all the essentials of being an Acolyte from the robes that we wear, to the processions and movements of Liturgy done by the Acolytes and the Priests. It will be a wonderful opportunity for prayer, love,  fun and fellowship together.  More information and details will be announced at later date!  If there are any questions or suggestions please do not hesitate to email me or call Sampson 954-467-1515.

IV On the GO Retreat

Come “Be Yourself” with IV on the Go and St. Demetrios!!!

Participants will experience a fun, exciting retreat run by former and current members of the Ionian Village Staff. Just like at Ionian Village Camp, participants will encounter our Orthodox faith in an up close and personal and unforgettable way. Ionian Village has always been a program that you travel to and while they can’t possibly transport the entire country of Greece, they realize that they can travel with their enthusiasm and energy to bring the Ionian Village experience to as many young people in our hometown!

This year’s retreat theme is “Be Yourself.” You are your true self the most when you are around the Faith, the Church, and friends from Church. You can carry the faith with you always so that you do not follow in the wrong footsteps, but better yet, create your own and follow your true self!
