    although i'm American, and I got to a church in America, our priest wanted us to go to convention in Europe this summer. However, it was rejected by the parents. So instead, we'll be going to the MCOYC- the regular convention. All i Know is that it'll be held in London this year.

    Hi everyone,

    You asked for europeans, here we are! lol

    Next European Youth Conference will be in Rome (Italy) from 28 to 31 august 2008. It will be held in a complex of 150 chalets, each one could take 4 persons (Total 600) near to the conference hall.

    That's all the information I have for now.
    I'll give you some more as soon as I have.

    I agree with you that the one in Holland was the best one.
    The difference between this one and the others is that it was organized by youth for the youth, that's why it was great. They learned from the errors of the past and do their best to make everyone spend an unforgettable convention.

    God bless you all.

    I can not wait for Rome!

    Holland is great. Its blessed with the most pious and holiest sons & daughters of the Church. If ever u wanted to see the light of God in men, go to the Coptic Church in Holland.

  • joegjoeg

    lol not at all.... only joking. So you were at Holland Matt? How come I didnt meet you.... or did I even see you?  ;D
  • mmatt95mmatt95
    I didn't know there's members from tasbeha.org going to the EYM!
    But i was there all the time, i was kind off organising the .ppt's and along with other people the church services. I was there at the tasbeha, in case u attended...

    Hope to see u in sunny Rome otherwise ;)

    PS I live in Holland, i was one of the hundreds of people organising and helping in the EYM 2007 8)
  • joegjoeg
    Yes I was at the Tasbeha!!!! But I cant remember seeing you - what did you look like?
  • joegjoeg
    Yeah, the tasbeha was short but very nice..... the 3amou from Ireland was leading along with one of the servants from St.Marks London... I specifically remember not saying Esmo Epchois or any other long hymns..... and you had that French dude who was a few years older than me and had double my knowledge in alhan..... and the Clerical college eklireekey.... and the mass we had - that was awesome with all the different languages - german pauline, french Catholicon..... and the Psalm 150 - you had praise him, louez lou.... absolute magic...
  • mmatt95mmatt95
    yah bezaaaaaaaabt, the clerical guy from France is Marco,
    and there were indeed the uncle from Ireland with his kids, I remember him too.

    The best part was psalm 150, I think we did it in
    -coptic
    -arabic
    -english
    -french
    -german
    -italian
    -dutch

    Oh man, we rock ;D
  • joegjoeg

    The deacons from Villejuif (France) are remarkable.. they are kids and i admit, they know stuff that I've never even heard off before. I hope God blesses them with a bigger Church in Paris.

    Apparently the convention will be in Italy. (I think!) could someone confirm that??
    I'd love to go also.

    Also, are married couples still allowed to go??
  • joegjoeg
    Ok...., yes this one is in Italy in Rome..... Germany did one a few years back I think, and as for the married couple, ask hos erof

    pray for me

    Yo matt,
    Is this open to married couples?
  • mmatt95mmatt95
    lol, I think so. I've seen plenty of married people. It's more the age that counts.
    There's a lot of supervisors who come as well, and their age ranges from 25 to 75, i'm sure ur not THAT old ;D
