August 21 Retreat for Girls Ages 13 to 18
The Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ Monastery is hosting an August 21 Retreat for Girls Ages 13 to 18 entitled “Faith Unashamed.” This presentation is about the calling to do mission work in the Orthodox Church. We will learn about examples of mission work in the history of the Orthodox Church, and see how we can begin our mission work right in our own communities. My prayer is that you will be inspired to be a local missionary following the presentation. I will also include examples of my own missionary work in Ethiopia and Albania.
Guest Speaker: Katherine Saclarides — Kathryn was born in Chicago, IL. She majored in Anthropology and Spanish at Vanderbilt University and recently completed a Masters in Social Work from the University of Chicago.
