Our Mission Statement To provide an environment where teenagers of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church can experience, live, and learn their Orthodox faith and culture. This is done so that as they grow and mature, both spiritually and physically, they will develop a commitment to God, the Greek Orthodox Faith and the Greek Orthodox Church. Our
Motto Our GOYA is an association of Greek Orthodox teenagers, ages 13 to 18. It is a place where young people come to learn and grow as Orthodox Christians in today's society, as well a place where our youth can socialize and embrace the Greek culture. Many GOYAans experience making new friends and experience the faith and culture in a welcoming environment. It is a great way for our youth and their parents to be involved in London's Greek Orthodox Community. GOYA started originally in the United States as the Greek Orthodox Youth of America. London, Ontario adopted the GOYA organization June 14, 1956. After a slow decline in GOYA activity over the past few years, we are coming back stronger than ever. As of now, we consist of 30 members who are in the 8th to 12th grades. We meet about once a month as a general committee and our executive committee meets twice a month. Our yearly calendar is full of activities including religious, cultural, charitable, athletic and social events. Some of these events are:
Any Greek Orthodox teenager that meets the age requirement (ages 13-18) is welcome to join. They will be added to our mailing list and are welcome to participate in all the youth events.
