GOYA

What is GOYA?” you ask? It is a youth group made up of teenagers from 7th through 12th grades who share in the life of the Church, solving real problems, working on real projects, and making real decisions. In other words, GOYA is the group in which our youth put their faith into action! The mission and goal of GOYA ministry is to lead our young people into experiencing the Holy Orthodox Faith. By developing a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and becoming active sacramental members of the living Church, our young people will be equipped with tools necessary to assist them in their journey toward salvation. Our youth group will be focused on liturgia (worship), koinonia (fellowship), diakonia (service), and martyria (witness).

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Fr. Stavros at the Church Office. The GOYA advisors are Jim and Mary Larkin and Christine Katsekis.

The GOYA are accepting donations for luminaries to be placed outside the church on Good Friday (memorials) and for Easter Services on Saturday night/Sunday morning (in honor). Donations will be accepted on Palm Sunday.
