The American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese

is thrilled to be hosting the 

Annual Diocesan Young Women's Encounter

this year as an online event.

The  Young Women's Encounter (YWE) is a retreat created for our young women, ages 12 to 18, to have fellowship with their Orthodox sisters in Christ while learning about God and our Orthodox faith as they grow in their journey to know Him. This engaging experience includes spiritual discussions, activities, and more!

We have been listening to families in our Diocese and share the desire for our young women to have the opportunity to meet and build frienships with other Orthodox young women. With your participation we can encourage these connections while learning and growing together.

We hope you will join us! 

Let's have fun, pray together,  cultivate our gifts, and grow in the Faith!
