Glory to Jesus Christ!
Just wondering who is going/knows of someone who is going to the Rally this week which will be in San Diego. I hope to be there helping in any capacity in which I'm needed, and to be there for the hierarchical liturgy that will be Sunday morning.

In XC,
J. Andrew

J Andrew,
Glory Forever!
The Byzantine Catholic Youth group of Epiphany of Our Lord in Annandale VA is sending a huge contingent to the rally.

We have 18 teens plus 5 chaperones going to San Diego.

For the last 2 years these teens have been raising funds through car washes, flea markets, and a variety of other events. Now the fruits of their work will be paying off. They even ordered tee shirts with the parish logo, so anyone in this group would be easily recognizable.

This is a very impressive number of teens to go to this event, particularly with the travel to the other coast, etc.

Our prayers are with them, and with all who attend.

Fr Deacon El

Wonderful news, Father, impressive indeed! I hope this is a profitable time for all of our youth who make it this weekend.

In Christ,
J. Andrew

There are four teens from the two Long Island parishes (Resurrection & St. Andrew the Apostle) going to the Rally. They have worked hard to be able to attend, and we send them with our prayers for a safe journey and a rewarding experience.

We only sent 16 with 4 maybe 5 chaperones, but they too have worked hard these last two years to make money for the trip. I love our teens and children. God bless them all as well as their chaperones and all who are leading or attending this conference.

I had the pleasure of attending the closing Divine Liturgy this morning, which was held at my alma mater.
