The church youth participated in a memorable trip to Ottawa, Montreal, and Thousand Islands from July 1st to 3rd. The trip included visits to St. Mary’s Coptic Church in Ottawa, Parliament Hill on Canada Day, St. Joseph Cathedral, Notre Dame, Old Montreal, St. George and St. Joseph Coptic Church, and St. Mary’s Coptic Church in Montreal. On the way back, the group took a boat cruise in Thousand Islands near Kingston. It was a fun filled trip loaded with activities, sightseeing, and spiritual lessons. The youth participated in discussions led by clergy and other youth on several spiritual topics including Repentance (on the Feast of Saint Moses the Strong), Friendship, Why Am I Coptic Orthodox, and the Prayers of the Saints. We are very thankful to all the congregations that hosted and were hospitable to us. Also, we thank all the youth leaders who organized this trip and to all the youth who have shown exemplary Christian behavior.
