After much thought, prayer and speaking with His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios, WE ARE POSTPOSING St. Stephen's Summer Camper Registration. We do not want add to the stress and financial burdens on any family at this time. We are working with CampDoc to set up a new registration date for after Pascha. Thank you for your understanding as we are all in this together!

I recognize that for many of us, staying in our homes represents a new kind of challenge, and so this note is meant to suggest some ways to pass the time, that will be spiritually fruitful.
