Alumni Reunion Weekend

Alumni Reunion Weekend

November 1-3, 2024

Guest Speaker: Fr. John Salem

Fr. John was born and raised in New Kensington, PA, and was reared in Orthodoxy from birth at St. George Orthodox Church in his hometown. He received his B.S. in Rehabilitation Education from Pennsylvania State University in 1989; Master of Divinity from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, MA in 1993. After graduation from Holy Cross, Fr. John spent the following year at St. John of Damascus Theological Academy at Balamand, Lebanon studying Byzantine music and the formal Arabic language. Upon return from Lebanon he served as Youth Director of St. Elijah Antiochian Orthodox Church in Oklahoma City from August 1994 – August 1998. On May 23, 1998 Fr. John married Valerie Homsey and they have been blessed with two children, Michael and Christina.


Fr. John was ordained to the Holy Diaconate on June 14, 1998 at St. Elijah by the hand of His Grace, Bishop BASIL and ordained to the Holy Priesthood on July 12, 1998 by the hand of His Eminence, Metropolitan PHILIP at St. George Church in New Kensington, PA. Fr. John has served as Associate Pastor of St. Nicholas Church in San Francisco, CA from 1998-1999 and Pastor of St. George Church in Houston, TX from 2000-2011 until reassignment back to St. Elijah in 2011. Fr. John has a long history at Antiochian Village, from serving as a counselor in the 1980s to being a session priest. He is beloved by generations of alumni.

Taking place over the Feast of St. Raphael (one of AV’s Patron Saints), our Alumni Reunion Weekend is a chance catch up with old friends and meet new ones during a weekend of fun and fellowship here at the Village. You’ll have a chance to see the newly-renovated Namie Hall (formerly the Old Dining Hall) and make new memories there!
Whether you were a camper, staff member, or volunteer, or even visited the Village, you’re a part of our Village Family. ALL are welcome! We’d love to see you there!

That’s a wrap!
