From March 20-22, Fr. Abraham and his fellow clergy brothers from the Mid-Atlantic Region, took part in a Lenten Retreat with Abp. Khajag Barsamian, at St. Mary’s Villa in Sloatsburg, NY. This year’s retreat theme was “Stress and the Peace of Christ.” Each day and evening, the clergy gathered for Sunrise and Peace Services followed by reflections on the theme of “Forgiveness” presented by a different clergyman, including Fr. Abraham.  The clergy also took part in discussions on “Stress and Burnout,“ Clergy Health and Wellness: Challenges and Opportunities” and on “Finding Peace in the Divine Liturgy.”
