How about on the East and/or West Coast?? Thanks for everyone's help. Stay cool ya'all
but on the east coast i know theres the ECCYC, East Coast Coptic Youth Convention, and it's coming up very soon... u can check out www.eccyc.org or .com, i forget which... but also, theres a family convention in connecticut and i also believe in lancaster PA... there family conventions and several families attend, its usually on memorial day weekend, but this year it will take place on july fourth because the bishops are all meeting in Egypt for that annual meeting.... hope u know wut im talking about
i know Abouna Abraham Azmy is in charge of the one in CT... but i forget who's in charge of the one in PA
and of course, theres several college and graduate winter and summer conventions on the east coast... but as far as teh west coast goes
i cnt help ya there buddy! ;D
Or else :o !
We won't c u! :'( :-[
What do you guys do at ECCYC anyway? I mean, how long is it, is it male/female, what are the age groups? And where can one find applications? Thanks in advance and God Bless. :)
u can find all the answers to all ur ?'s at www.eccyc.com
it's a very beneficial and spiritual convention, i highly reccomend it to nyone along the east coast.
Bishop David, Moussa and Antonius come every year
it takes place from end of july to begining of august
theres 4 sessions; grads, college, hs boys and hs grls
theres lectures, workshops, prayers... all the spiritual stuff, and theres a good amount of time for fun and games
the facilities i can say are decent, better than nothing!
SEVERAL, and i mean SEVERAL priests come and its alotta fun
u go home spiritually enriched and socially active wiht ppl from all over the east coast!
check out the site! ;D
ALL HAPPY FACES
if you're going on ECCYC in the summer, i suggest your bring your own fan.. hehehe. Althought the words you recieve are a living water to your spirit, your body may be thoroughly burnt by the end of the retreat... :)
also... if ur allowed, bringing some snacks isnt such a bad idea either ;)
so that add one more Bishop to the list... hopefully.
