Over 70 college students from 8 states gathered at the Diakonia Retreat Center March 25-27, 2016 for their Bi-Annual WorkDaze Retreat. After a relaxing evening of Salutations to the Theotokos & fellowship on Friday evening, the students spent Saturday clearing brush and trees from the woods near the new Panagia Chapel under construction. Following Saturday evening's Vespers, Fr. Athanasios Haros spoke on God’s Will in our Lives. Following his session, the group enjoyed smaller breakouts. They enjoyed a quiet campfire and confessions that evening. Everyone joined for Orthros & Divine Liturgy on Sunday morning, and was fortified by a delicious breakfast before departure. Metropolitan Alexios, who is in Greece, expressed His appreciation for our college students' support and their participation.
