Heart of the God-Bearer

The Byzantine Catholic Young Adult Convocation is taking place July 31–August 2, 2026, at St. Mary Byzantine Catholic Church in Hillsborough, New Jersey. This is an in person retreat featuring three wonderful speakers: Mother Natalia from Christ the Bridegroom Monastery in Ohio, Fr. Paul West from OLPH in Levittown, PA, and Fr. Jack Custer from Sts. Peter and Paul in Peekskill, NY.

The hope of the retreat is to cultivate an encounter with Christ through the beauty of our Byzantine Catholic faith, friendships rooted in the Gospel, and a renewed desire to live the Christian life with courage and joy.

As a young adult retreat, the target audience is between 18-35 years of age, married couples welcome. Please see the attached flyer and/or visit the website for additional details and to register: https://www.heartofthegodbearer.org
