On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, Giving Tuesday, with the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Mark, the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania invites the faithful to support its Youth Ministry, a vital investment in the future of the Church. Through your generosity, we can ensure that every child in the Diocese, regardless of financial need, has the opportunity to participate in enriching programs such as Summer Camp and Teen Retreats. These gatherings provide meaningful fellowship among Orthodox youth, nurture their spiritual growth, and strengthen their relationship with Christ and His Church.

As His Eminence has shared, “Through the program our youth not only learn about their faith, have fellowship with other Orthodox youth, but have the opportunity to develop lifelong relationships. These relationships and their experience help solidify their relationship to Christ and the Church.”

Your contribution directly supports this sacred mission. Each gift provides resources that help our young people grow in faith, leadership, and love for God. Together, we can continue to foster a generation of faithful Orthodox Christians who will carry the light of Christ into the future.

We encourage you to make a gift today. Every contribution makes a lasting difference in the life of a child and in the life of our God-protected Diocese.
