With the blessing of Their Eminences Hilarion, Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York, and Gabriel, Archbishop of Montreal & Canada, the annual Saint Herman Youth Conference will be hosted by Holy Trinity Cathedral in Toronto, ON, Canada. The conference will commence on the evening of Tuesday, December 23rd and conclude on the morning of Saturday, December 27th. The conference is open to all youth over the age of 16.

The guest speaker is Dr. Lynne Pappas, a psychologist and therapist from northern California. Her specialty is adolescent psychology, and she has extensive experience. She is a member of the Serbian Orthodox Church and speaks throughout the country on social issues from an Orthodox perspective. In addition to the lecture, Dr. Pappas will participate in workshops and discussion groups. Roundtable discussions will be conducted by clergy and experienced leaders of the Toronto parish. Social activities are planned which will give the opportunity for youth to interact and develop strong friendships.

The cost of the conference is $275.00 per person and includes all lodging (quad occupancy), meals, and transportation from the hotel to the church. The deadline for registration is Thursday, November 20th, and after that date the cost will increase with no guarantee of space remaining.
