The [**Prince Vladimir Youth Association**](https://www.youthpv.org/), together with the [**St. Mary of Egypt Russian Orthodox Church**](https://www.stmaryofegypt.org/) in Roswell, GA, will be hosting a youth symposium on *Orthodox Identity in America* from May 30-June 1st, 2025.

Nestled in the northern Atlanta suburbs, St. Mary's is well-known for its vibrant parish life, offering regular events and activities to parishioners and visitors alike.

*"This parish was not chosen by chance. Its parishioners include native-born Americans, Russians, Ukrainians, people from the Middle East, and immigrants from the former Soviet republics."*

The symposium seeks to continue conversations held at the 14th All-Diaspora Youth Conference on *"Preserving Orthodox Identity and Heritage Abroad,"* concentrating on the life and experiences of Orthodox young adults in the southeastern United States—namely Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida.

Guest speakers will include **Bishop Iakov (James) of Sonora**, Second Vicar of the Western American Diocese, and **Fr. Peter Markovich**, Rector of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Mebane, NC.

*"The Young Adult Symposium (ages 18-30) is an opportunity for fellowship with like-minded Orthodox Christians. Activities incorporate various workshops, together with meals, and Divine Services (including Vigil and Sunday Liturgy)."*
