2014 Family and Youth Conference: July 16-19

[Cathedral FOCUS]

The Northeast American Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Church will host its 2014 Family and Youth Conference from Wednesday, July 16 to Saturday, July 19 at the Lancaster Host Resort and Conference Center in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. 

A preparatory meeting presided over by the Diocesan Metropolitan, His Grace Zachariah Mar Nicholovos. The meeting was well attended by Malankara Association Managing Committee members, Conference Committee members, parish Vicars and Deacons. In the opening remarks, the Metropolitan announced the appointments of Rev. Fr. Mathew (Sujit) Thomas as the Conference Coordinator, Dr. Philip George as the General Secretary and Mr. Thomas George as the Treasurer. 

It was unanimously decided to include in the itinerary of the participants, if they choose, the famous ‘Moses’ show at the Sight and Sound Theatre close to the conference venue. Of the 250 rooms available at the Resort, 115 rooms have already been blocked for prospective participants. Every effort will be made to keep the registration fee as low as possible in order to attract more participants. Online registration for the conference without extra costs will be an added attraction. It was also decided to induct committee members of spiritual organizations such as Marth Mariam Samajam and MGOCSM into the conference committees.

The following committees were constituted for effectively managing the conference with a decision to induct more members should there be a need to do so.
