With the blessings of His Eminence, Metropolitan Alexios, oficiated by Bishop Sebavastianos, our annual Winter Youth Rally began with our 540 GOYAns and their advisors praying from 55 parishes in our Annunciation Metropolis Cathedral, as we prayer the blessing of the waters service as a Metropolis Church Family. This annual event, was prayed with resounding voices, especially as our Metropolis Youth chanted the hymn of Saint Stephen in unison, remembering this great martyr Saint celebrated today, and as the beloved Patron Saint of our Metropolis Summer Camp. May our Lord continue to guide our youth to glorify His Most Honored and Majestic Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
