AN UPDATE FROM AV CAMP

Annual Appeal 2024!

We are raising funds for the brand new "AV Camp Endowment", which is to be used for Camper Scholarships and Capital Improvements and was started by a generous anonymous donation of $500,000. Over the past year we've raised $55,000 through the AV Open and Fort Ligonier Days for a total of $555,000. This year our goal is to grow this endowment by $100,000.

Help us take care of AV for generations to come by reaching our goal!

Alumni Reunion Recap!

This year...

We began the weekend with a memorial for Fr. John Namie at the Monastery of the Transfiguration in Ellwood City. Throughout the weekend Fr. John Salem led talks discussing the legacy and telling stories about Fr. John Namie. We also blessed Namie Hall (formerly the Old Dining Hall).

Thank you all for an amazing weekend celebrating the legacy of Fr. John Namie!

RELIVE AV MEMORIES!

Hey AV Alumni! Do you love flipping through our photo albums when you come to visit? Well our Director of Communications Constantine Kallaur has spent the last year scanning all of our photos from our photo collection going all the way back to 1981! In an effort to preserve the history of The Antiochian Village, we are in the process of digitizing as much content as we have. God willing, we'll have every session video going back to the 1990's online in the near future as well.

Check out our SmugMug photo-site below to re-live the AV memories!
