Regional Conferences/Meetings
The ACYOA Central Council facilitates regional meetings and retreats to provide a forum for open and honest discussion, cooperation and communication among the chapters in a given region. Based on the needs of a particular region, the gathering can also provide education or spiritual growth.
The ACYOA will be hosting Spring Retreats in the Midwest and New England
regions on April 20. The Midwest Spring Retreat will be held at St. Gregory
Armenian Church in Chicago. The New England Spring Retreat will be held at
St. James Armenian Church in Watertown, MA. For more information, please
see the facebook event pages for the
Midwest <https://www.facebook.com/events/542263272474453/?fref=ts> and
New England <https://www.facebook.com/events/218461071634008/?fref=ts> retreat pages or contact ACYOA Executive Secretary Nancy Basmajian at
acyoa@armeniandiocese.org. The deadline to register for either retreat is
April 15.
The theme for both retreats is Called to A New Life.
New! A word often connected with youth, full of potential and possibility.
A word also connected with our faith: the prophet Ezekiel talked about a
new heart and a new spirit; St. Paul proclaimed a new creation and a new
life; and Jesus himself was the embodiment of “all things new.” Join us as
we explore the fresh and ever-transforming message of the Gospel and how
that instructs our daily lives.
If your chapter would like to host a regional meeting or retreat please contact ACYOA Executive Secretary Nancy Basmajian: acyoa@armeniandiocese.org.
