The Divine LIturgy was celebrated by His Eminence Archbishop Michael  with Fr. Jason Vansuch, Fr. Gregory Fedorchak and Fr. Ambrose Inlow and then followed by the procession to each building with His Eminence blessing each room in each building!  We were all moved by the commitment of those in attendance to the ministry of this Diocesan Camp.  Posters created by Susan Selby  and a slide program  created by Board Member Timothy Halligan,  made visible the history and  ongoing progress of the camp.   A festal dinner prepared by our expert culinary team of Katherine Rigo, Kevin Williams, Gerda Mortelette and Patricia DePalma was enjoyed and  accompanied by  inspirational words from His Eminence about the camp and the importance of this ministry to youth and their families and communities  in this contemporary challenging culture .  Fr. Gregoryy   spoke of his own experiences at the camp and provided anecdotes of the lives- both campers, staff and volunteers- changed by their camp adventure.. .  Board of Directors Vice President Doug Selby

thanked the attendees, the volunteers, the benefactors and supporters  for their sacrifices of time, talent and treasures citing these sacrifices as the only way that this camp could offer the facilities and programs that it does.    Board Member Marilyn Brady educated  attendees to the camp's newest giving platform- Give Butter. Culminating the event were  short performances of music  by some of our campers .  A beautiful mounted icon of St. Olga of Alaska,   which another of our board members Fr. Ignatius Gauvain  had especially created for this event, was given as a gift to each family in attendance. Glory to God for all things!
