More than 200 youth participated in the Spiritual Retreat organized by Very Rev. Raban Jack Yacoub, Director of the Youth Department, in collaboration with Very Rev. Raban Boutros Kassis, Patriarchal Delegate in Aleppo and Environs.
The meeting was opened by prayers and meditations on the coming of the New Year.
