CrossRoad Summer Institute 2010 Comes to a Close

 

The OVM celebrates the completion of seventh year (and tenth session) of the CrossRoad summer institute! Once again, the OVM ran two sessions of CrossRoad this summer in response to the large number of applicants, hosting 60 students from twenty-six different states and Canada, and representing seven Orthodox jurisdictions.  Mary Long and Daniel Belonick worked together again as Director and Assistant Director respectively to lead a team of five program staff members, two student interns, and one videographer for CrossRoad’s 2010 sessions.


CrossRoad combines the greatest offerings of Hellenic College/Holy Cross: faculty instruction, a talented staff of graduate students, the beautiful campus overlooking Boston, and the exciting city of Boston itself. The ten-day program includes classes in Orthodox theology, daily chapel services, parish visits, vocational discussions, and service activities. Now in its seventh year, CrossRoad engages some of the best and brightest youth from your community and around the nation to discern how they can match their God-given strengths and talents for the needs of the world.

What is CrossRoad?

Attention high school juniors and seniors, before you decide what to do with the rest of your life, decide what to do with your summer!  CrossRoad is an engaging 10-day summer institute for Orthodox Christian high school juniors and seniors of all jurisdictions that takes place every summer on the campus of Hellenic College/Holy Cross in Brookline, Massachusetts.  This year, thanks to overwhelming interest from qualified candidates, CrossRoad will again offer two sessions! Students from the United States and Canada are invited to take part in an exciting summer vocations exploration program designed to help them discern their life callings and match their God-given gifts with the needs of the world.

Now in its sixth year, CrossRoad combines the greatest gifts of Hellenic College and Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology through faculty instruction and participation, an enthusiastic staff of graduate students, the beautiful campus overlooking Boston and of course the exciting city of Boston itself. Students will participate in daily classes with Orthodox faculty and attend Vespers each evening at parishes in the Boston area.

CrossRoad, one of the many unique programs sponsored by the OVM, is funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc. and through the philanthropy of several donors. Applications may be downloaded from the CrossRoad website at crossroad.hchc.edu, or received by mail by calling the office at 617-850-1309. Furthermore, the OVM has produced a DVD featuring the CrossRoad experience which has been sent to each parish and is available on the CrossRoad website.
