St. Herman's youth conference, final day

At five in the evening, the youth gathered in the Monastery church for evening prayers, then returned to the hotel for the closing banquet. At the banquet, His Grace Bishop Gabriel announced that the next St Herman's Conference in December 2011 will be held in Ottawa, Canada. The evening then concluded with a talent show featuring many exceptional performers.
On December 28, the participants checked out of the hotel and parted ways. Our prayers are with the Orthodox youth who attended this conference: that their time here bore much fruit, that they arrive home safely, and that they all return to visit our monastery soon.
