Dear Friends,
Today, we close out our second full year of ministry to and with Orthodox youth around the world. As we reflect on all we have accomplished since beginning our work in late 2022, we are grateful to our Lord for having been given the opportunity to help Orthodox young people around the world uncover and live their unity in Jesus Christ.
We have met so many wonderful young people this year through our projects who have motivated and encouraged our work. But it was this quote from one of our speakers at Suprasl 2024 that highlights the importance of Suprasl’s work:
Politics presently stifles the relations among our Church hierarchy. Luckily, young people are able to meet, listen to each other, build trust, and forge friendships, united by our common faith. The inspired persons who prepare and run the [Suprasl] event render great service to Orthodox Christianity worldwide through this initiative.

On this, the last day of 2024, we want to thank all of you for making our work possible. The outpouring of support and generosity over the past two years has been nothing less than inspiring.
The work we have been able to accomplish is made possible because we honor and keep in our memory those who have come before us; because we are actively preparing those who will come after us, and because of the love you have shown us. Thank you for your collaboration in this ministry. Nothing begins alone.
We pray that the New Year will bring you peace, love and everything good from our Lord. Finally, as one more small token of our appreciation for you, we offer another Christmas Carol song by some of our Suprasl participants. We hope you enjoy.
On behalf of the Suprasl team and all those we serve, I remain,
Yours in Christ,
Archdeacon Joseph Matusiak
