Dear Brother Priests, Deacons and Subdeacons, Consecrated Men and Women and Lay Faithful,
We are happy to announce that our sixth annual MYA Eparchial Conference will be held October 16-18th at Our Lady of Lebanon in Miami, FL. We thank Fr. Manuel and the Our Lady of Lebanon Parish for their generosity and for opening their doors to host our MYA from around the country for a fruitful conference weekend. The MYA attendees look forward to meeting the parishioners following the 11am Sunday Divine Liturgy. There will be a brunch hosted by the parish for all to attend.
Please help us to promote this event in your parish and especially among your young adults (ages 18-35, those who have finished high school). It would be ideal to have at least two young adults from each of our parishes attend this event. Our theme will focus on Known and Called: Created to Love Strongly.
The MYA Conference Registration Fee is $225 (early bird pricing ends September 1st) and includes the following:
All spiritual and social events held at the Church Hall
Full Course Meals (Friday Night and Saturday)
Lebanese Hafli (Party)
Sunday Brunch hosted by Our Lady of Lebanon Parish
Please note: This fee does not include the hotel room which is $249 per night, plus tax (and can fit up to 4 people per 2 queen bed rooms). The deadline to book the hotel is September 15th.

We also encourage you to invite a young adult at your parish to make an announcement in the coming weeks about the MYA Conference inviting their peers to attend.
Here is an announcement you can use for your bulletin and social media:
