The recently inaugurated the Orthodox Christian Academy of Atlanta (OCAA) met under the direction of its Chairman, His Eminence, Metropolitan Alexios, and in light of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, decided to postpone all retreats at the DRC at least through mid May, 2020. Thus, our fourth annual HUMS retreat has been postponed. The Board of Directors would like to thank all of you who had planned to attend this year’s retreat. The Board of Directors of the Holy Unmercenaries Medical Society will virtually meet on May 16, 2020. Hopefully, we will have sufficient information at that time to reschedule our 2020 retreat.

The Liturgical Arts Academy is a one week intensive program to teach the skills of Byzantine Chanting, Iconography and Liturgical Textile Arts in an atmosphere of prayer, study, discussion and communion. Virtual offerings available while you shelter in place.

This event brings GOYAns (teenagers) from all over Florida to our parish for a weekend of athletics and spirituality. Please contact St. John the Baptist in Tampa, FL for more information.
