The Episcopal Youth Event (EYE) is the single largest gathering of young people in our church and it happens every three years, don’t miss out. Those attending from the Diocese of Georgia will take part in both the national event and a regional one on the same trip.
This year EYE will be held at Villa Nova in Philadelphia, PA. Participants will ride the train to Philadelphia with other dioceses in Province IV and then stay after EYE to participate in an urban mission trip with other dioceses during a Province IV Youth Event (PYE). Our diocese is given a limited number of spots, therefore, we are asking that youth apply to take part in this wonderful opportunity. If you are at all interested please submit an application. This will be an amazing experience and a chance for youth from our diocese to meet people from all over the Episcopal Church. This trip is open to all diocese of Georgia youth who are currently in 9-12 grade. Participants will leave for EYE and PYE on July 8th and return home on July17th.
