ACRY Launches 2026 Diocesan Wide Stewardship Drive

Monday, December 15, 2025

JOHNSTOWN, PA [Diocesan Chancery] --  With the blessing of His Eminence, Metropolitan Gregory the National American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Youth Organization,  has launched its Annual Stewardship Drive, to benefit charitable activities both within and outside of the Diocese.  The ACRY is calling upon all parishes of the Diocese to support this philanthropic endeavor of the National ACRY during the season of the Nativity Fast  (Advent) 

The National Senior ACRY is continuing its annual Stewardship Campaign, the eighth iteration and is grateful for the continued efforts and contributions from those throughout the diocese.  Their efforts continue as they strive to reach this year’s goal of $10,000!

For anyone unfamiliar with this effort, the Stewardship Campaign was created during the 2018 National ACRY Convention. At that time, their members hip voted to replace the individual chapter donations for the scholarship, publication, campership, and other funds with one large fund drive campaign to take place during the Advent season.

Much like last year, the campaign will make an impact on the furtherance of spiritual growth and scholastic opportunity for our diocesan youth.   Thanks to your efforts they were able to provide scholarships for the young adults of our Diocese, host Lenten retreats, support Camp Nazareth, and much more. 

Members of our Diocesan Family are encouraged to spread the word of the ACRY to friends and family who may benefit from it’s events and efforts.  The National ACRY is truly the philanthropic arm of our Diocese, and this campaign is a shining example of the good that can come from all of us working together to make a difference.
