Registration open for boys, girls camps, June 19-22

Special to Horizons
 
PARMA, Ohio — On the occasion of the Eparchy of Parma’s 50th-anniversary celebration, Boys and Girls Camp will be hosted June 19-22 at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, 1900 Carlton Road, as a joint event for high school students; the minimum age is 13. 

The weekend will focus on the Christian call to holiness, centered around the question, “But who do you say that I am?” (Mt 16:15), which will be discovered through talks, opportunities for prayer and confession, group activities and discussion groups.  Campers will also participate in the Eparchy of Parma’s 50th-anniversary celebration, including a walking pilgrimage, prayer vigil and the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy, celebrated by Archbishop William C. Skurla of Pittsburgh. The homilist will be Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, prefect of the Congregation for Eastern Churches. Cardinal Sandri is also expected to address the campers. 

The weekend will be led by the nuns of Christ the Bridegroom Monastery, along with a dedicated team of priests, deacons, seminarians and lay leaders.  Register by May 31: www.parma.org/boys-and-girls-camps. Space is limited. 

For information, contact youth@parma.org or call the nuns at (440) 834-0290.
