The
Youth Directors of the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon and of the
Eparchy of St. Maron of Brooklyn wanted this year’s conference to be
a special one, and so they found a place that will call the young
people to life. This is a personal invitation to all Maronite youth
around the country to gather for the annual youth conference to be
held in Plymouth, Michigan from July 6—10. This year’s conference
will focus on the Spirit of the Youth to live out our Maronite
Identity.
The place
is great. The environment is perfect for contemplation and for
those discerning a call to the priesthood or religious life. As a
bonus, each room is equipped with its own closet and bathroom and
you do not need to bring extra linens or bedding. Please travel
light as it will make the trip more exciting.
It was
decided to keep things in the program that were very beneficial for
our faith and lives. The talks will be exciting and relevant for
today. It is preferred that all youth are appropriately dressed for
the conference talks, liturgies and dining facilities. We will need
to bring sneakers and sweats to play sports along with a swimsuit
and beach towel. The facility has a dress code while in the
building so please be advised. There will be no alcohol on the
premises and if any youth is in need of specific medication they
need to mention that in the registration forms. Medication will be
given by a nurse.
There will
be the famous dance and pizza party on Friday night and the famous
“Hafli”
on
Saturday night. We are also planning an outing on Saturday to the
lake and a Liturgy at the local parish.
Cost: $200
per person (double occupancy.) $250 per person (single occupancy.)
