01.22.2026 Notes
Father David encouraged us to visit monasteries and attend the All-American Council.
“Pay attention. God is working in your life if you look.”
Father David made mention of the OCF. “OCF transforms the lives of college students by guiding them along the path to Jesus Christ through His Church, cultivating a campus community of worship, witness, service, fellowship, and education.”
He also made mention of a global youth program from the Diocese of the South. “Members of the Department of Youth, Young Adult, and Campus Ministry (YYACM) support the efforts of local parishes, communities and dioceses across North America to nurture the spiritual growth and formation of our children, youth and college age students, helping them reach their full potential as Orthodox Christians.”
Father David encouraged us to read the Nativity letter from Bishop Gerasim.
