THE CLOUD - Southern California Pre-Lenten GOYA Retreat will be held on

Fr. Haralambos Fox (Saints Constantine and Helen -- Lancaster), Fr. Christos
Kanakis (Saint Anthony -- Pasadena) and Paul Gikas (Metropolis Youth and Young
Adult Ministries Director) will present this retreat.
The Cloud is where our kids are spending a lot of time these days -- cyberspace.
We will look at the need to use The Cloud responsibly and also how we can use the
many Orthodox resources that are now a part of The Cloud in order to reach the
Heavenly Cloud! Retreat activities include a high-ropes course, archery, teambuilding games, and it is a great opportunity for fellowship and fun!
Registration forms must be submitted in advance; however, payment can either be
mailed in advance or brought in person to the retreat. Registration forms available
in the Narthex. For more information contact Father Christos Kanakis.
