Just for Youth
Here you’ll find out what’s happening for you in the Eparchy
of Parma and throughout our Byzantine Church.
You’ll also find articles and photos of past events. Be sure
to check them out and let us know what you think.
If there’s something happening in your parish that you want
everyone to know about, send us information, and we’ll be
happy to post it here. Our goal is to keep you connected to
your church.
Things change often so check back regularly. Let us know how
we’re doing, and be sure to tell us what we can do to serve
you better.
Above all, be sure to pray for one another, and be assured of
our prayers for you!Activities for ByzanTEENS:
•Great Lakes Day of Reflection
for ByzanTEENS
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. — In a culture
where Jesus Christ is a guy just as good as Buddha; the
Catholic Church is just as good as any Protestant church,
Islam, Hinduism or Buddhism; being a good person is more
important than being a religious person; having a spirituality
is more important than having faith; safe sex is just as good
as abstinence; same sex unions are just as good as marriage;
pornography is just adult entertainment; drugs are just a way
to cope with reality; what’s OK for you is OK with me as long
as you don’t expect me to believe what you do, then What is
‘TRUTH’? If you are between the ages of 13 and 19, come check
out the possibility of a ByzanTEEN subculture at the ByzanTEEN
Lenten Day of Reflection. Yes, there will be pizza! DETROIT AREA: St. Basil Church, Sterling
Heights, Mich., on Sunday, March 9, from 1-6 p.m.
