Archbishop Stefan met with participants of the Summer Rally of Orthodox Youthtranslated

His Eminence Stefan, Archbishop of Gomel and Zhlobin, met with participants in the Summer Rally of Orthodox Youth of the Gomel Diocese on July 25, 2026 at the courtyard of the St. Nicholas Monastery in the village of Teryukha, Gomel region.

The summer gathering annually brings together young people from the parishes of the diocese. The archpastor did not arrive empty-handed: a pleasant addition to the meeting were the fresh vegetables, fruits and sweet watermelons that he brought for the participants.

The central part of the visit was a conversation about the life of a Christian in the Church. Bishop Stefan spoke about the need not to forget about the temple and attend divine services. Turning to the experience of the Old Testament prophets, the archbishop spoke about his life path and his churching, which began in childhood.

At the end of the meeting, His Eminence Stefan blessed the participants of the rally.
