Tabăra de Colinde 2025

„Am pornit la colindatu…”
Prin zăpadă, prin cântec, prin inimă,
cu vestea Nașterii lui Hristos.

With the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Nicolae, ROYA announces the Winter Camp, lovingly known as “Tabăra de colinde.”

The camp will take place from December 27, 2025 to January 1, 2026, at the Protection of the Mother of God Monastery in Allegan, Michigan.

Youth from across the Metropolie are invited to spend this time between the Feast of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ and the New Year together, in an atmosphere of prayer, brotherly fellowship, and spiritual joy, celebrating the Birth of Christ through the beautiful Romanian carols.

Please see the attached flyer and registration form (https://forms.gle/XmHTmvB79YwWCAbi6) for more details, or contact our team at [email protected] with any questions. Deadline to register is December 7th, 2025!

La mulți ani, dragi Români!

Duminică, în ziua prăznuirii Sfântului Andrei cel întâi chemat, Ocrotitorul României și al Episcopia Ortodoxă Română a Canadei, tinerii ROYA s-au adunat la Biserica „Sfântul Mare Mucenic Mina și Sfântul Efrem cel Nou” din Blainville, QC, pentru a se ruga împreună. Cu binecuvântarea Părintelui Olimpiu, ei au pregătit un concert scurt, dar frumos, pentru a marca Ziua României. S-au intonat trei cântece patriotice: „Românie, Românie!” – Sava Negrean Brudașcu; „Românie, mândru plai!” – Paula Hriscu; „Cât trăim pe acest pământ” – Iurie Sadînic.

La final, credincioșii au fost invitați la o agapă frățească organizată de către tinerii ROYA, cu ajutorul lui Spiridon Amohnoaie, al doamnei Ioana și al doamnelor din parohie. A fost un eveniment minunat; comitetul de doamne și cei 30 de tineri voluntari au lucrat în armonie pentru a oferi celor 250 de credincioși o duminică călduroasă și de neuitat. S-au adunat peste 8000 $, care vor fi folosiți pentru a a susține proiectele bisericii și ale tineretului ROYA.

Mulțumim Părintelui Olimpiu pentru susținerea tineretului ROYA din zona Montrealului.

Valentin Cioană, Vice-președinte ROYA
