Bsp. Luke of Syracuse to Speak at St. Herman Conference

ALVIN, TX — The Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America (ROCOR) has announced that His Grace Bsp. Luke of Syracuse, the abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York, will serve as a keynote speaker at the 2025 St. Herman Youth Conference.

The annual gathering, organized for Orthodox youth and young adults, will take place from December 29, 2025, to January 2, 2026, at Camp Mohawk in Alvin, TX.

Building on last year’s theme of the universal call to holiness, the 2025 conference will examine the lives and teachings of several “great lights” of the Russian Church Abroad in the 20th and 21st centuries, offering inspiration for contemporary struggles toward sainthood.

Attendees will participate in divine services, including a solemn New Year’s Vigil and Midnight Divine Liturgy on December 31-January 1.
