Dear Clergy of our Holy Archdiocese:
It gives me great
pleasure to invite you to be a part of the 33rd Biennial Clergy Laity
Congress of our Holy Archdiocese. The Congress headquarters will be at
the spacious Hilton Hotel in the "Big Apple."
As we arrive at the threshold of the Twenty-First Century, this
gathering of our Church promises to take on historic proportions.
Together we will offer our gratitude and thanksgiving for the brilliant
"vision," "mission," and "leadership" of His Eminence Archbishop
lakovos that has brought us on the road to "Go Forward" as a vibrant
Church in the Western Hemisphere. Together, we will explore the
"vision," "mission," and "leadership" that will enable this forward
march in the future. The forums and clergy workshops will focus on
successful church leadership for accomplishing the mission of Christ's
Church to the world. Indeed, the Congress will afford us the unique
opportunity to rejoice in our Holy Orthodox Faith through liturgy and
prayer, dialogue and discussion, as we, a Christian family of
believers, reach out to each other.
The significance of this particular Congress calls on all of us to
participate! With this in mind, His Eminence with the Congress Steering
Committee has graciously waived the registration fee for retired
priests and presvyteres. Presvyteres (non delegates) of active clergy
are being offered a discounted registration fee of $225. We are working
enthusiastically to insure a successful Congress and await your arrival
with exceeding joy!
Faithfully yours,
Fr. Paul C. Palesty
President of St. John Chrysostom Syndesmos
Archdiocesan District
